This country quiche is a quick and easy recipe for brunch or dinner. Ham, vegetables, green onions, and cheese are mixed with a creamy egg custard and baked on top of a bread crumb base.
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.
- Step 5
Cut into rectangles and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use a mixture of vegetables that could include onions, green onions, peppers, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, asparagus and/or tomatoes.
- To freeze, cut the quiche into pieces and layer them in an airtight container with wax paper between each slice. Or refrigerate in an airtight container or plastic wrap for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
