They say the best recipes are made with love and I am happy to celebrate American heart month this February by creating a family dish using Eggland’s Best Eggs. Eggs are one of my most used ingredients and they are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This quiche is something my family and I could eat at any time.
Recently my sixteen year old daughter became a vegetarian. I would say she is a fickle vegetarian as she has tried being a vegetarian once before but caved in several months after she started due to the smell of a juicy charbroiled burger. Teenage girls are wishy- washy like that and we will see how long this lasts. But right now I am making vegetarian meals that appeal to her but also provide plenty of protein and nutrition. This quiche fits right in this category.
A quiche is easy to make and I like to layer mine a certain way so the crust doesn’t get soggy. First I lay the crust in a pie plate. Don’t judge me as this is a refrigerated store bought pie crust. As you probably already know, I stink at making crusts and like to take the easy way out. Once the crust is in the plate I sprinkle the cheese on first.
Next I saute’ the veggies in a non- stick frying pan with a little olive oil. They don’t need to be cooked long but I like to just get them a little wilted.
I let them cool for a few minutes then put them over the cheese. Make sure you spread them evenly.
Next the eggs get beaten together with some spices and fat free evaporated milk. It gets poured right in the pie shell and the quiche is ready to bake. Put the quiche in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
Below is what your beautiful quiche will look like. Make sure to cool it first as a hot quiche is very hard to cut into nice slices.
I love having quiche for dinner! This is something that is great to make in advance then heat up in the oven or microwave. Using Eggland’s Best Eggs gives me extra benefits over ordinary eggs.
Did you know that they have four times more vitamin D, ten times more vitamin E, more than double the amount of omega-3s, thirty- eight percent more lutein, three times more vitamin B12 and twenty five percent less saturated fat compared to ordinary eggs?
Now for the great news. Eggland’s Best is giving one of my readers the chance to win a nice gift pack which includes a gift card.
The gift pack will include:
- 2 free dozen EB coupons
- $25 visa gift card
- 1 EB plush egg

My favorite way to eat eggs is scrambled with cheese, salt and pepper.
I love sunny side up eggs with a piece of toast to dunk in the yolk! And I am definitely loving this quiche. One of my favorite things to eat!
Egg salad or French toast are my favorite

We eat eggs at least once a week for dinner. Scrambled for the kids, over medium for us grown ups. I do love quiche as well and make that often too!
That quiche looks FABULOUS!!! I will definitely give it a whirl. I never knew the health benefits of Eggland’s Best eggs. I do use them when I buy eggs at the ShopRite. When I buy eggs from a local market in my town, I but their farm fresh eggs.
I love making quiches, too. I also have been making a delish salad with baby kale, grape tomatoes, goat cheese and two eggs over easy. I will blog about it soon!
Thanks for sharing. I’m totally pinning this.
PS – I always keep a two-pack of ready-made pie crusts in my fridge or freezer, too. But the key to successful homemade pie crusts is: Keep it cold, work fast, and keep turning the crust on a well-floured surface as you roll it out so that it doesn’t stick.
my favorite way to eat eggs is omelets

Quiche florentine. I’d love to try this one too!
A good quiche can take care of so many different types of eaters. I enjoy making quiches because it allows me to use what is in my refrigerator. Paired up with a salad or soup and it is a great meal.
