Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (60 mL) dry bread crumbs
  • 2 cups (500 mL) chopped vegetables (see Notes)
  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) diced cooked ham, chicken or turkey
  • 1 ½ cup (375 mL) grated Cheddar or Swiss cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 ½ cups (625 mL) 1% milk
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) salt

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 15 x 10-inch (40 x 25 cm) sheet pan with cooking

  • Step 2

    Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the bottom of the pan. Scatter the vegetables, ham, and cheese in the pan.

  • Step 3

    Whisk the eggs, milk, cayenne pepper, and salt just until the mixture is blended. Pour over the ingredients in the pan.

  • Step 4

    Bake until the egg mixture is just set, about 35 minutes. For a soft custard-like quiche, don’t overbake. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.

    Cut into rectangles and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
