My love affair with the humble quiche began in my childhood, and it has only grown stronger over the years. This versatile dish was one of the first recipes my mother entrusted me to make on my own, a true rite of passage in our kitchen. I can still recall the well-worn recipe card she left on the counter, with a simple note asking me to prepare one for dinner. Little did I know then that this simple task would spark a lifelong passion for cooking. The quiche, with its flaky crust and rich, custardy filling, is a dish that anyone can master, and its endless variations make it a staple in kitchens around the world.
At its core, a quiche requires just three basic ingredients: a pie crust, eggs, and heavy cream or half and half. From there, the possibilities are endless. You can add your favorite meats, vegetables, and cheeses to create a quiche that suits your taste perfectly. For today’s recipe, I’ve chosen to stick with a classic combination that never fails to please—a three cheese quiche. The combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese creates a deliciously cheesy filling that pairs beautifully with the flaky pie crust. To add a bit of color and extra flavor, I’ve also included both yellow and green onions, which add a subtle sweetness and freshness to the dish. If you’re cooking for picky eaters, you can easily swap out the onions for chopped ham or broccoli, both of which make excellent additions.
While I grew up eating quiche primarily for dinner, this dish is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of day. It’s a brunch staple, perfect for serving alongside fresh fruit and a cup of coffee, but it’s also a great option for lunch or dinner. I’ve even been known to sneak a slice straight from the fridge for a quick snack. Whether served hot or cold, this cheesy quiche is always a hit.
