SOUTHWEST SONORAN SUNRISE BREAKFAST QUICHE

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: I love a breakfast casserole that can be kept in the refrigerator and everyone can help themselves to it in the morning ! I created this so we could have a tasty, satisfying breakfast that would be fast and versatile. This would also be delicious with a side of salsa and hearty bread toasted. I actually make this every week and it is easy to change it up using different seasonings and vegetables. Reheats in the microwave easily, can even put in a pita or tortilla and take it on the go! Great brunch dish too...

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your quiche a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini.
Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your quiche. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good options.
Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating will make the quiche tough. Just whisk them until they are well combined.
