Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to Simple Recipe Box with your host, Ben Harper! Today, we're transforming your mornings with an ultimate breakfast quiche that's not only delicious but also versatile and easy to prepare. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting out in the kitchen, this recipe is perfect for you.

Let's start with the ingredients you'll need for this savory breakfast delight. Grab a 9-inch pie crust – homemade or store-bought, both work great. You'll also need three large eggs, one and a half cups of heavy cream, and some salt and pepper for seasoning. For the filling, prepare half a cup each of grated cheddar cheese, diced ham, diced bell peppers, and diced onions. These ingredients will add a burst of flavor and texture to your quiche.

Now, onto the preparation. First, preheat your oven to 375°F. While it's warming up, roll out your pie crust and place it into a tart pan, pressing it into the edges. Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add in the cheddar cheese, ham, bell peppers, onions, and if you like, some minced garlic for an extra kick of flavor. Stir everything together until well combined.

Pour this mixture into your pie crust, spreading it evenly. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spills during baking. Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the edges are golden brown and the center is set. To check, insert a knife in the center – if it comes out clean, your quiche is done.

After baking, let the quiche cool for about 10-15 minutes. This helps it set and makes slicing easier. Serve it warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a touch of elegance.

This breakfast quiche is not only a fantastic way to start your day but also great for meal prepping. You can make it ahead of time and enjoy a slice each morning, ensuring a hearty and satisfying breakfast. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or fruit, making for a balanced meal.

For those interested in variations, feel free to swap the ham for bacon or sausage, or use different cheeses like Swiss or feta to customize the flavor to your liking. And if you're catering to a vegetarian or want a lighter option, simply increase the veggies or switch to egg whites.

Remember, the beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and adaptability. It's perfect for any cooking level and occasion, from a quick weekday breakfast to a leisurely weekend brunch.

Thanks for tuning in to Simple Recipe Box. I hope this ultimate breakfast quiche recipe transforms your mornings as much as it has mine. Happy cooking, and see you next time for more delicious, easy-to-follow recipes!
