Substitutions & Variations
The quiche filling can easily be modified.
- Bacon - instead of pork bacon, you can use turkey bacon as good option.
- heavy cream- use this or half and half in place of the whole ilk.
- Cheese - You can add a little bit of parmesan cheese or Gouda cheese. or a combination of either with Cheddar cheese.
Timesaving Tips and Helpful Hints
- Place quiche pie pan on a baking sheet before putting in oven to collect any spillovers
- Bake until top of the quiche is set.
- If you want to use a homemade crust you can.
- You can use aluminum foil to cover the crust edges during the last 15 minutes of baking. This prevents the crust from becoming overdone.
- To store, wrap quiche in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Quiche is a great make-ahead dish. Once it has cooled, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a delicious and easy meal.

The tip about covering the crust edges with foil was a game changer! It kept the crust golden and crispy, and the flavors of bacon, cheese, and broccoli were spot on. Can't wait to make it again!
