Notes
Tip: This quiche is delicious served with a side salad for a complete meal!
For added flavor, consider sautéing some onions or garlic before mixing them into the quiche. If you’re looking for a lower-fat version, substitute the feta with a reduced-fat cheese or leave it out altogether for a dairy-free option. This quiche can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, and it reheats beautifully in the oven or microwave. Serve it warm or at room temperature.
