Why I Love This Recipe

I love how easy and versatile this quiche is. It uses a pre-made crust to save time, and the filling comes together in one bowl—no fancy equipment needed. The three types of cheese give it a rich, balanced flavor that’s both comforting and crowd-pleasing. It’s also perfect for making ahead, so I can enjoy a slice straight from the fridge or warm it up later for a quick, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust

  • 6 eggs

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese

  • ¼ cup yellow onion, diced

  • 2½ tablespoons chopped green onions

Directions

  1. I preheat the oven to 375°F and take the pie crust out of the fridge so it softens slightly.

  2. In a large bowl, I whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

  3. I stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss cheese, yellow onion, and green onions until everything is well mixed.

  4. I roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges with a fork if I want a decorative finish.

  5. I pour the egg and cheese mixture into the prepared crust and smooth out the top.

  6. I bake the quiche for 38–40 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is lightly golden.

  7. Once it’s done, I let the quiche cool for 8–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Variations

Sometimes I like to add cooked bacon, diced ham, or sautéed spinach for extra protein and flavor. I’ve also made it with different cheese blends—Gruyère adds a nice nutty flavor, and feta gives it a tangy twist. If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll swap the regular crust for a hash brown crust or make it crustless for a low-carb option.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover quiche covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I warm slices in the oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes, or microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals. It also freezes well—I just wrap it tightly and thaw it overnight before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this quiche ahead of time?

Yes, I often make it a day in advance and either serve it cold or reheat it gently in the oven before serving.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

Yes, I can use whole milk, but the quiche will be slightly less rich and creamy. Half-and-half is a good middle-ground option.

How do I know when the quiche is done?

I check that the center is set and no longer jiggles. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a little moisture.

Can I make this without a crust?

Yes, I’ve made crustless versions by pouring the filling into a greased pie dish and baking as usual. It’s a great low-carb alternative.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Absolutely. I wrap individual slices or the whole quiche tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, I bake straight from frozen at 350°F until warmed through.

Conclusion

This Three Cheese Quiche is a simple yet flavorful recipe that always feels a little special. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep, I get a creamy, cheesy, perfectly baked quiche that works for any meal of the day. It’s easy to customize, make ahead, and enjoy warm or cold—definitely one of my favorite go-to recipes when I want something comforting and impressive without a lot of effort.
