Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage to the mixture. You can substitute the mozzarella and cheddar with your favorite cheeses, such as feta or gouda, for different taste profiles. If you want a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. This recipe can be made with zucchini or a mix of summer squashes.
Serving Suggestions
This Squash Quish pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It also makes a delicious breakfast option served warm or at room temperature. Consider serving it alongside a light yogurt sauce or sour cream for added creaminess. For a fun dessert, try the Butterscotch Mallow Cake to finish your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method helps retain the quiche's texture.
