# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the creamy comfort of quiche without the heavy pastry feeling in your stomach afterward
  • It's endlessly adaptable based on whatever vegetables are languishing in your crisper drawer
  • The leftovers make for the most satisfying breakfast you've ever had on a busy Tuesday morning
02 -
  • The quiche will continue to cook slightly as it rests, so remove it from the oven when the center still has just a tiny bit of wobble
  • Letting it cool for those 5 minutes is absolutely crucial or you'll end up with a runny mess when you slice it
03 -
  • Squeeze excess moisture from fresh spinach after chopping to prevent a watery quiche
  • Let your vegetables cool slightly if you've sautéed them first so they don't scramble the eggs when you mix them
