Full of asparagus, mushrooms, ham, onion and a blend of Swiss and cheddar cheeses, this quiche is brunch bliss. It’s incredibly easy to make and so impressive!
This quiche also freezes well for an easy make-ahead brunch… which leaves more time for pouring mimosas!
I used a refrigerated pie crust to slash time (which I’m all about) but if you have a trusted pie crust recipe, use it!
How to reheat a cooked quiche that has been frozen:
- To reheat a frozen cooked quiche that has been thawed, bake (covered with aluminum foil to prevent from further browning) in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.
- To reheat a cooked quiche directly from frozen, bake (covered with aluminum foil) in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until heated through.
I hope you enjoy this quiche as much as I did. Enjoy!

Delicious!
I made a couple changes due to not having everything on hand: used only 5 eggs, no nutmeg, instead of Swiss cheese I added ~1/4 cup of grated parmesan.
SO yummy & done within the 45mins. Thanks for sharing!
I made this quiche yesterday. It turned out great. And, I made it without the crust. Still good! Thank you!
The cooking temperature or timing is way off. I followed recipe to the letter. I baked it for 55 minutes and let it rest 10 minutes and center was still raw. Crust was soggy. Filling delicious. If I make it again I will up the temperature and par bake the crust 10 minutes before filling it.
Hi Marti, I don’t know what could have gone wrong – I always use this oven thermometer to ensure that the temperature is correct and I tested this recipe a few times before posting.
This quiche recipe sounds delicious! I’ll be making this soon. Thanks for your recipe.
Thanks, Peggy – Hope you enjoy the quiche! 🙂
GORGEOUS! This quiche is absolutely perfect for Easter brunch!
Thanks so much, Valerie! Happy Easter to you and your family! 🙂
