A crustless quiche with plenty of cheesy veggie goodness to go around
Just imagine, waking up to the smell of mild, hickory smoked cheddar wafting through the air waking you up saying, “Good Morning!” When served alongside sweet fresh berries, this quiche will “pop” with the tantalizing essence of savory, smoky, and full-bodied flavors all at once.
Whether for a weekend brunch or Easter Sunday breakfast, you’ll be starting your day off to a great start with a wholesome, appetizing meal. Loaded with protein-rich eggs, calcium-rich cheese, and vitamin-packed veggies, these deliciously flavored quiches will satisfy hungry appetites in no time
If some of the veggies are not your favorites, you can always improvise. For example, maybe replace asparagus with broccoli or add in a few finely diced mushrooms. And if smoked cheddar cheese is too intense, use regular cheddar cheese instead. There’s really no right or wrong way to put this tasty recipe together.
Best of all, when time is of the essence, whip up these quiches up to 3 days in advance. Once made, individually wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic first, then wrap in a paper towel and microwave on high for 30 to 60 seconds.
