Perfect for a fancy brunch or just a lazy weekend breakfast, this spring veggie-loaded cheddar quiche is the ONLY way you’re going to want to eat your eggs!
Quiche for daaaaaaays…
Quiche all day and every.single.dang.day. That pretty much sums up how much I love this quiche, guys. Can I get an AMEN for asparagus? A woot woot for roasty red pepper? And a WHEE for cheese??
Also. I feel it’s only appropriate that we all give aWHAT for the fact that May is now upon us. Guys, it’s basically summer because this month always goes by sooooo fast. It’s crazy. Mother’s Day is next week…I wrap upmy first year of school the week after…Memorial Day is a few weeks later…I swear this month is gonna FLY!
For now though…let’s try to be chill with QUICHE!!
So I need to confess something pretty ridiculous, y’all. I only JUST started loving quiche. Seriously! If you’d had asked me a few years ago if I would ever put a quiche recipe on my blog the answer would have been a flat heck noooooo.
I don’t even really know why I hated it either! Maybe because my mom made quiche a LOT when I was growing up and I just got tired of it? Either way, thank GOODNESS all that foolish thinking has passed. Because these days I’m totally quiche’s #1 fan.
Why, you may ask? Because…—>
Flaky buttery crust.√
Silky, custard-y egg filling.√
All the veggies humanly possible.√
Cheese smothering the whole thing.√
It just seems like a win-win kinda brunch deal to me, guys.
I use asparagus and roasted red pepper as my veggies in this particular quiche because the two compliment each other SO well along with the cheddar cheese on top. Plus they just look so festive. Ahhh, love it!
Howeveeeeeer, if you have a favorite veggie combo you like in your eggs, feel free to do some veggie swap-outs! Literally any and every kinda veggie goes here.
I tend to lean more heavily towards every veggie. Breakfast CHAMPS we are, guys!
PRO TIP: If you do plan on making this quiche for brunch on Mom’s Day next week, I would strongly suggest doubling the recipe to make two. It’s slightly concerning how fast slices disappear.
1 quiche for you. 1 quiche for everybody else. Sounds about right.♥

Quiche for days is always a good thing! This looks so good, Sarah! I love the red pepper and asparagus combo. So perfect for welcoming the month of May and warmer weather!

I used to be weird about quiche because I have a strange aversion to eggs. Once I learned I could practically mask the egg with lots of cheese and veggies, I never turned back. Quiche is now one of my favorite things and this one sounds wonderful. Love the summer veggies in it!!

Sarah, you KNOW I love quiche! This looks awesome! And you know, I have a jar of roasted red peppers in the fridge and I’ve been wondering what to use them in, because it’s time. This is PERFECT! And I happen to be making a big brunch for dinner on Sunday 😉

This quiche is TOTALLY the best way to use up leftover roasted red pepper! 😉 Thanks Annie!

I’m the same way! My mom used to make quiche a lot when I was little (well…it was quiche-like. she called it ‘zucchini pizza’) and it got to be too much. 😛
But now, I adore cold, next-day quiche. And YUM to the asparagus in it. Springtime asparagus is just the best, no?

That’s so funny, Annie! Hey, I mean I guess quiche is a tiny bit like pizza? Same shape practically. LOL. Thanks for the sweet words!!

I liked Quiche before I made this but now I love it. It’s so moist and tasty. I would make it every week (or day) if I could.
Thanks for the recipeReply
