How to make Easy Breakfast Quiche (Overview)

Making this quiche is as easy as pie (pun intended!). Start by preheating the oven and prepping the pie crust. Sauté your favorite veggies until they’re tender and let it all cool for a moment. Whisk those eggs like you mean it! Toss it all together, and pop it in the oven.

Pro Tip: Don’t skip cooling the veggies. It prevents your crust from getting soggy. No one enjoys a soggy quiche! 😬
