Mom's Quiche

This is a staple at my mom and dad's house... and is quickly becoming one at mine too! It's super versatile and you can make it with just about any combination of fillings. I go for the vegetables and have been attempting to incorporate as many as I can from my garden (hence the base recipe below)... my parents will often make a version with spinach and smoked salmon. Also, I use soy milk, but my mom's original recipe calls for heavy cream. Show more
