17 Best-Ever Quiches for An Awesome Breakfast or Brunch (or Dinner)

With their elegant look and creamy, savory fillings, quiches might just be the ultimate in sophistication.  (And let's been honest, any food with a French name is automatically super fancy.). Quiches can be rich and indulgent, featuring meats like bacon and sausage, or lighter with vegetables like asparagus, summer squash, leeks, mushrooms, and spinach.  Although most quiches are made with either homemade or store-bought pie crusts (or no crust at all), the crust can also be made from corn tortillas, hash browns, quinoa, or grits.  Add a touch of sophistication to your next breakfast, brunch, or dinner table with one of these hearty and delicious quiches.

This dish is a bit of a project, but once you have the pastry rolled and pressed into the tart pan, most of the work is done, and you can do that well in advance. Keep the dough in the freezer, ready to bake when you need it.

What better use could there be for an abundance of peak-season, fresh zucchini than making a comforting zucchini quiche? The vibrant summer vegetable is accentuated with a richly savory egg filling, flavored with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, garlic, and caramelized onions. The silky caramelized onions, which provide a subtle balancing sweetness, can be made ahead of time in order to keep the prep for the zucchini quiche quick and easy. Serve this elegant yet simple quiche as a part of your next brunch spread or with a green salad for a light and lovely lunch.

This quiche calls for store-bought frozen piecrust, which is a wonderful time-saver. Simply fill the piecrust with a mixture of sautéed yellow onions, fresh parsley, half and half, and Gruyère cheese. A sprinkle of ground nutmeg adds a little sweetness and brings all the flavors together.

Brunch like a boss with Aunt Rose's spring asparagus quiche. Pro-Tip: Be patient before cutting into your quiche. Even though the top may appear perfectly golden and crispy, the inside is still playing catching up. A good rule of thumb is to cool at least 25-30 minutes.

This top-rated recipe is a reader favorite, and it's not hard to see why it's so beloved. Fast and fancy, a quiche was featured in nearly every issue of Southern Living in the seventies, but none was more popular than Quiche Lorraine. Our favorite version, of course, uses bacon.

Umami-delicious morels pop up in Western woods and orchards, and make plump, savory nuggets in this quiche. For the neatest slices, make quiche a day ahead; let it cool, loosen it from pan edges, and chill. Cut into wedges, then reheat.
