Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, try using Gruyere or Swiss cheese instead of Monterey Jack.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for a subtle, warm spice.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
This quiche is also delicious served cold or at room temperature, making it perfect for picnics or brunch.

Jan 11, 2024Easy to follow and absolutely delicious! I swapped the Monterey Jack for cheddar because that's what I had on hand, and it was still amazing.
