NOTES
1. Can I use whole eggs instead of yolks? Yes, you can. Use two whole eggs instead of 2 yolks. The quiche will be a little firmer and not as soft.
2. Variations:
- Tomatoes: San Marzano are great in flavor, but you can also use Roma tomatoes or other flavorful tomatoes.
- With puff pastry: You can use store-bought puff pastry instead of making dough.
- Caramelized onions add a sweet flavor.
- With goat cheese: Great with tomatoes, gives a bit more bite.
- Cherry tomatoes add more color and a hint of sweetness.
- With spinach or zucchini: Adds more veggies.
- Fridge: Store in a closed box or wrap in plastic for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Wrap slices in foil and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Bake for 10–15 minutes at 320 °F (160 °C).
