Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter quiche, substitute half-and-half for the milk or use low-fat cheese. You can also replace the ham and bacon with cooked vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. If using frozen biscuit dough, allow it to thaw completely before mixing to achieve a better texture in the crust.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Tomato Onion Quiche warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for brunch or a light dinner. Pair it with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It also pairs beautifully with Polly Baked Beans for a delicious side. Consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top when serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain the quiche's texture and flavor.
