Notes
For extra flavor, sauté the garlic before adding it to the egg mixture. You can also include mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or diced ham for variety. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week and reheat at 350°F for 10–15 minutes. Avoid freezing quiche made with heavy cream as it may affect the texture.
