Notes

For best results, do not skip the resting time; it helps the quiche set perfectly. Feel free to substitute cheeses based on your preference, and choose a pie crust that's easiest for you to work with. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results. For an additional flavor boost, sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika over the top before baking.
