Often associated with French cuisine, quiche is a savory egg custard baked in pie crust. The base comprises eggs, milk, and cream, cheese, and any variety of ingredients are added for flavor. This cheese quiche uses cheddar, and Swiss cheese is a nice addition. You can use any shredded cheese you like; one winning combination is havarti, colby, and Parmesan.

Quiche is an excellent choice for any meal, including a busy weeknight dinner. It can even be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen, then quickly reheated.
