Easy to make Three Cheese Quiche with cheddar, mozzarella and Parmesan is a great main dish for breakfast, brunch or a weeknight meal. It’s an excellent make-ahead recipe that freezes beautifully, to help save time and reduce stress in the kitchen!
If you are a cheese lover, then you are going to be over the moon for this recipe. Three Cheese Quiche is a simple yet flavor-packed dish that totally irresistible. I recently added this new ingredient combination to my collection of quiche recipes and I’ve quickly become a fan.
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 makes any recipe you use them in above average regarding taste. If you don’t have a friend who raises chickens, I know that’s an uncommon thing, make sure to check out your local farmer’s markets and pick some up, then make this quiche. You’ll love the extra flavor from fresh eggs and the gooey cheese and fresh herbs make this recipe downright delectable!

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,
