Two-In-One Baked Breakfast Quiche for Mother’s Day Brunch

Two-In-One Breakfast Quiche l www.lorisculinarycreations.com


Hubby and I have vastly different opinions on what we want in a breakfast quiche. He wants the meatiness of bacon, ham, chicken or whatever. I prefer lighter veggies, goat cheese and olives. I was making breakfast last weekend and we sure had a difference of opinion. So I started with my standard rice crust and improvised from there. Then I thought…. Mother’s Day!!  This would be great for Mother’s Day brunch too!

For this quiche, I used a 9×9 pan, baked my rice crust first, then divided it down the middle so one side was hubby’s bacon and cheddar and the other had goat cheese, olives and all my faves.  When making it for Mom this Mother’s Day, try adding some smoked salmon or shrimp if she likes seafood. Or, eliminate the bacon and make it strictly veggies with the addition of broccoli and/or zucchini. Either way, there are ingredients to make everyone happy.

Step 2
When your crust is done, remove from the oven. Layer the spinach leaves on the bottom. Place the bacon on one half of the crust and the olives on the other half. Layer with tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. Put the goat cheese on the half with the olives and the colby jack on the side with the bacon. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. Pour the eggs evenly over the cheese. To make sure you know which side is which, place a few olives on top of the side with the olives and goat cheese. Bake, uncovered for 40 minutes.

Finding a way to put your favorite ingredients in a breakfast quiche and having hubby do the same, makes it easy and there are no fights, although I think my side was better.  If there are four of you, each take a quarter and make it uniquely your own.  This probably won’t work if one of you is a vegetarian and one a carnivore due to “cross contamination,” but it is a great way to both get what you want.  You can also easily multiply the recipe by 1.5 and bake it in a lasagna pan. I’ve done that before and it works great. Just add about 5-8 minutes to your baking time.

This breakfast quiche would also make a great brunch item for Mother’s Day. Just serve it with a big bowl of fruit salad, OJ (or Mimosa’s) and Mom would be thrilled.

    This is when I would resort to individual minis in muffin cups, etc. If any of my eaters had their quiche “infected” with the ingredients from someone else’s that they didn’t like, I would never hear the end of it lol. I have made a rice crust before but keep forgetting about it. My sister is always complaining about the 6 gallons of rice that comes to them whenever they get Chinese take-out here. I’ll have to remind her she can re-purpose it into a crust. Rice pudding is what always comes to mind, but not enough of our crew eats it to make it worth it. [#TastyTuesdays]
