Notes
- Use cooked chicken: Make sure the chicken is already cooked before adding, it won’t fully cook in the egg mixture.
- Don’t over mix the eggs: Whisk just until combined to keep the quiche light and fluffy.
- Chop veggies evenly: This ensures the asparagus cooks through without over baking the eggs.
- Let it rest before slicing: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 5–10 minutes so it sets properly.
- Add-ins: Try mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
- Cheese options: Mix in a second cheese like mozzarella or Gruyère for added richness.
- Avoid over baking: The center should be slightly jiggly when you remove it, it will finish setting as it cools.
- Serving idea: Pair with a side salad or roasted potatoes for a balanced meal.
