Serving Ideas

This quiche shines on its own but plays well with others too. Try these serving ideas:

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Toasted whole-grain bread or a warm baguette slice
• A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side
• Fresh fruit for a sweet contrast

It’s great for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. Who says quiche has to be reserved for brunch?

Pro Tips for Crustless Garden Vegetable Quiche

• Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor. Frozen veggies can work but might add extra moisture.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet when sautéing veggies; you want them to soften, not steam.
• Let the quiche rest a bit after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
• Feel free to experiment with different cheeses – each one brings a unique flavor twist.
• If you want a little crunch, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or crushed nuts on top before baking.

Leftovers

Got leftovers? Lucky you! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave. I find the oven keeps that lovely texture better than the microwave, but hey, whatever works for you.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overloading with watery veggies like tomatoes or mushrooms without cooking them first – this can make the quiche soggy.
• Skipping the seasoning eggs and veggies need a little salt and pepper love to shine.
• Baking at too high a temperature the quiche might brown on top but stay runny inside.
