Instructions

Tips
- Choose Fresh Vegetables: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh, seasonal vegetables. Bell peppers, spinach, and zucchini work wonderfully, but feel free to experiment with your favorites!
- Whisk Well: Ensure the eggs are thoroughly whisked to create a light and airy quiche. The more frothy the mixture, the fluffier your quiche will be.
- Season Generously: Don’t be shy with the salt, pepper, and herbs. They enhance the overall flavor, so taste the mixture before pouring it into the baking dish.
- Cheese Variations: Mix and match cheeses to suit your taste. Cheddar, feta, or goat cheese can add unique flavors to your quiche.
- Cool Before Slicing: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes after baking. This will help it set and make slicing much easier.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your quiche with a fresh salad or a side of fruit for a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
