Description

This Quick Quiche offers a comforting twist on the classic French tart by using a crust made from soft bread slices instead of traditional pastry. The result is a lighter, yet deeply satisfying dish that holds up beautifully to the rich, savory filling. Beaten eggs create a custardy base that binds perfectly with sharp, nutty Swiss cheese. The texture is unique: the edges of the bread toast slightly during baking, providing a subtle crunch that contrasts with the smooth, creamy interior. It&# 226;€™s an ideal solution for busy weeknight dinners or a hearty weekend brunch. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, this vegetarian-friendly meal delivers big flavor without the fuss. Serve it warm, straight from the oven, for the best experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim the crusts off all 12 slices of soft bread.
  3. Press the bread slices firmly into an 11-inch clay baker or deep pie dish, overlapping them slightly to form a complete crust layer.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 6 eggs until well combined.
  5. Stir half of the shredded Swiss cheese into the egg mixture.
  6. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the bread crust in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded Swiss cheese over the top of the quiche.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
