Easy Homemade Quiche Recipe

Delicious homemade quiche made with veggie leftovers and choice of healthy crust for a perfectly filling yet light lunch!

I use leftover steamed veggies to make homemade quiche that is super fast and easy to make.

My favorite combos are asparagus/red pepper and broccoli/onion, but any mix will do!

For the crust, I recommend making your own as the options that are commercially available have questionable ingredients or additives.

Easy homemade crusts to consider that work well for quiche include:

• Gluten-free pie crust
• Keto (grain-free) pie crust
• Sprouted pizza crust (simply press the dough into a glass or stainless steel pie crust pan instead!)

Be sure to use the best eggs you can afford when making quiche.

It makes all the difference for amazing flavor!

Ideally, eggs should come from your own backyard hens or those of a neighbor.

If that is not possible, know that pastured eggs are a better choice than free-range when considering various brands.

If you are buying commercial eggs, it is a good idea to test them when you get home to be sure they aren’t old.

This test for fresh eggs is easy and can be done in a couple of minutes for an entire dozen.
