MOM'S QUICHE
This is a staple at my mom and dad's house... and is quickly becoming one at mine too! It's super versatile and you can make it with just about any combination of fillings. I go for the vegetables and have been attempting to incorporate as many as I can from my garden (hence the base recipe below)... my parents will often make a version with spinach and smoked salmon. Also, I use soy milk, but my mom's original recipe calls for heavy cream.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your quiche a more complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, and Gruyère.
- Don't overcook the quiche. The center should be slightly set, but still a little wobbly. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and tough.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. This will help it hold its shape better.
- Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
- Be creative with your fillings. You can add almost anything to a quiche, such as vegetables, meat, seafood, or cheese.
- Make a quiche ahead of time. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Quiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also relatively easy to make, making them a great option for busy weeknights.
