Quiche is a fantastic option for those with food allergies because it's incredibly versatile. With the right ingredients, it can be adapted to suit almost any dietary restriction! I've even included options if you need your quiche to be egg-free.
The beauty of quiche lies in its flexibility. Experiment with different vegetables, cheeses, and proteins to create endless flavor combinations. Just make sure your crust and egg mixture remain the same.
Below is a list of combination options you can try:
Broccoli, cheddar cheese, and onion
Ham, cheese, and spinach
Spinach, red onion, and feta
Breakfast sausage, bacon, and cheddar cheese
Spinach and sun-dried tomatoes

For larger gatherings, bake your quiche in muffin tins for bite-sized servings, making this versatile champion of breakfast, brunch, or lunch safe from cross-contamination.
Today, we're focusing on making a spinach, zucchini, and red onion quiche. This is my favorite combination to make, and one of the safest options for me. Joe loves it when I add bacon to it as well, so that option is also included, but can be omitted if preferred.
All-in-all, with a little creativity, you can create countless delicious and allergy-friendly quiche recipes. Experiment with different flavors and enjoy this versatile dish the way YOU want to!
