Three Cheese Quiché For Breakfast, Brunch Or Dinner
My family loves eggs, and we’re spoiled with having fresh eggs delivered to us every week. A friend of ours has chickens, and she always has more eggs than she can use, so every weekend, we get two dozen.
Fresh eggs are something special, with their beautiful bright yellow yolks and rich flavor that make any recipe you use above average regarding taste. I use them for deviled eggs, my Mom’s egg salad of this Quiché recipe. This dish is so easy to make with wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge.

Delicious! I had to make some substitutions but it still turned out great for Christmas Day brunch. I used oat milk, a pre-baked homemade crust, 1/2 block of cream cheese in place of sour cream(blended it into the egg/milk mixture on low in vitamix) and added 1/4 tsp onion powder because I didn’t have chives. It was great, kids loved it. Thank you!
Can you make the night before and bake in the morning?
Yes, I do that all the time. I just reheat in the oven before serving.

Hi. Have you ever made this with a home made pie crust? If so would you prebake the crust?
Whether you make pie crust or use premade, follow the directions as written.
Hi Donya— I am making this quiche for Easter brunch, 2022.
1. At the point of reheating, should the oven be preheated?
2. What about adding some cream cheese? Would that work? If so, about how much? And at what point in the prep process do you recommend adding the cream cheese?
Love your recipes. Thanks so much

Hey there Charlotte!
Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, it will be perfect to serve for Easter Brunch this weekend! What you’ll want to do is preheat the oven to 375 before you begin preparing the quiche. I’ve never put cream cheese in my quiche before so I’m not entirely sure how it would turn out, I think it might make the filling mixture too thick, but if you have time to experiment it’s worth a try! Thank you so much for your kind words and for your support, if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Absolutely fantastic. The only change I made was to use a refrigerated pie crust. The seasonings were to my family’s taste, added a salad… wonderful dinner. I look forward to freezing some in the future to have on hand.
Thank you for sharing! Yum;)
Are you supposed to bake the pie crust before filling with the quiche ingredients (Three Cheese Quiche) ? The directions say take pie crust from oven and place on a baking sheet.
Hey, Bonnie! Thanks for your question. Please take a look at the updated instructions. You do not pre-bake the pie shell. I hope this helps and that you’ll make the quiche. Let me know how you like it.
Thanks again, and have a wonderful week!
XO,
