Pro Tips

What goes well with quiche for breakfast?
Citric flavors go well with a breakfast quiche because their tanginess balances out the richness of the pie. You can serve it with fruit juices such as orange, lemonade or even tomato juice!
If you’re more of a smoothie person, try it out with a banana, mango, papaya or pineapple smoothie.
What’s the difference between quiche and egg bake?
An egg bake is any of different baked dishes similar to a casserole (that includes eggs, of course) while a quiche is a pie made mainly with eggs and dairies in a pastry crust, and other ingredients, such as vegetables.
What sides to serve with quiche?
You can serve your Primavera Breakfast Quiche with a side or a tasty fruit salad.
For the cold days when you just need something warm and comforting, a tomato soup is the way to go. And if you’re in a comfort-food mood, how about some focaccia?
Why is my quiche watery?
The filling needs the eggs’ proteins to coagulate correctly for its firmness. If you add too much liquid dairy (remember, just ¼ cup of milk is more than enough!), the egg’s proteins won’t be enough to set the filling. And that will leave you with a soggy quiche.
What is the difference between a quiche and a quiche Lorraine?
Usually, a quiche lorraine uses heavy cream, bacon, and swiss, gruyere or emmental cheese. A regular quiche has other variations of cheese and meats (if the recipe requires them).
