If you’re craving something cozy, quick, and totally family-approved — this easy quiche recipe might just become your new breakfast (or brunch) bestie.

Let’s be real: mornings can be chaotic. Between getting our families out the door and trying to drink your coffee while it’s still hot, spending hours in the kitchen isn’t happening. That’s why I love recipes like this. They deliver comfort food vibes without the kitchen meltdown.

Whether you’re just getting comfy in the kitchen or you’ve been cooking for a crowd since the flip phone era, this quiche is a go-to that never lets me down.

Why I Keep Coming Back to This Easy Quiche Recipe

Growing up, my mom used to make quiche all the time. And back then? My picky younger self wouldn’t even look at it. (Eggs in a pie? Hard pass.)

Now? I get it. This recipe has saved me on more than one hectic morning — and believe it or not, it’s one of the few meals the whole family actually agrees on. Miracles happen.

And the best part? It’s endlessly flexible. Whatever’s in the fridge? Toss it in. This quiche forgives everything, including your lack of time and clean measuring cups.

The Best Part: It’s Easy, Customizable, and Only Takes a Few Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for the base:

• 1 deep dish frozen pie crust (9-inch)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk or half and half
• 1 to 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss — whatever your fridge offers)
• ½ to 1 cup of add-ins (bacon, sausage, chopped veggies, ham, last night’s roasted broccoli — you name it)

Our Favorite Combo Right Now? Bacon + Cheese (With a Little Help from My Teen)

This morning, my youngest and I threw together a quiche using whatever we had. Here’s what we added:

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar and Parmesan
• 3 oz. bottle of bacon bits (yes, the kind for salads. they totally work)
• A handful of chopped onions and celery for crunch

We poured that into our frozen crust. Then, in a separate bowl:

• Whisked 4 large eggs
• Mixed in 1 cup milk (or half and half if you want to make it fancy)

Pour it all over the bacon + cheese mixture and pop it in the oven. Boom. Breakfast is happening.

How to Bake It

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes
3. Lower heat to 350°F and bake another 35–40 minutes
4. Let cool for 10 minutes (this part’s hard because it smells so good)
5. Slice and serve

That’s it. A breakfast that feels special but takes less effort than finding your teenager’s other sock.

Easy Quiche Recipe Tips (Because Moms Deserve a Shortcut)

• Crust Tip: Using regular pie crusts instead of deep dish? Just cut the filling in half — or double it and make two. (One for now, one to freeze. Look at you planning ahead!)
• Cheese Tip: Use whatever you’ve got — cheddar, Swiss, feta, mozzarella. Quiche is cheese-flexible.
• Protein Tip: Bacon, sausage, ham, even rotisserie chicken — just make sure it’s cooked before adding.
• Veggie Tip: Spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, broccoli — a.k.a. the things your kids say they don’t like but somehow still eat in quiche.

Make-Ahead & Storage (Because Future You Will Thank You)

Bake it, cool it, slice it — and store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. It reheats like a dream in the microwave or toaster oven.

Want to freeze it? Totally works. Just wrap it tight, label it, and freeze for up to 2 months.

Also, you can store and freeze uncooked quiche, as well. I just highly recommend completely unfreeze before cooking.

You Deserve an Easy Win

This is one of those keeper recipes. It’s there for you when the morning’s hectic, when you need a quick lunch, or when you forgot someone invited you to brunch. (Again.)

Once you know the basic formula, you can create so many delicious combos — and none of them require perfection. Just good food, made with love (and some cheese).
