# Expert advice:

01 -
  • You get all the creamy, savory satisfaction of quiche without the heavy pastry weighing you down
  • Its endlessly adaptable—use whatever vegetables are wilting in your crisper drawer
  • The leftovers make the most satisfying grab-and-go breakfast youve ever experienced
02 -
  • The quiche continues cooking as it cools, so pulling it out when the center still has a tiny wobble is actually the right move
  • Using a glass pie dish lets you see exactly whats happening on the bottom—those golden edges are your signal
03 -
  • Let your eggs come to room temperature before whisking—they incorporate much more evenly into the milk
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded. The anti-caking coating in bagged cheese can make your quiche grainy
