Easy Quiche Made with French Onion Dip

Quiche is a favorite in our house. While you might think of quiche as a breakfast dish, we love to eat it for lunch and dinner too. I am always coming up with new quiche flavors for us to try. I made this French Onion Chicken Quiche last week for lunch and it was a huge hit! Chicken Legs & I almost finished the whole thing by ourselves. It was SO good!!!

How to Make Quiche from Scratch

Quiche is actually very easy to make. Place the chicken, cheese and French fried onions in the bottom of the crust. Next, whisk together the eggs and cream. Pour that over the chicken and bake. Easy!

  • I always use a frozen deep-dish pie crust for my quiche recipes. There is no need to prebake the crust. It will bake along with the quiche and be perfect.
  • I used rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken in this quiche.
  • How do you know when the quiche is done? It will puff up and won’t be jiggly in the middle.
  • The french onion flavor comes from a container of French Onion Dip. You want to look for a sour cream-based French Onion Dip. I prefer Kraft, but any of the refrigerated sour cream-based French Onion dips will work great – Helluva Good, Dean’s, Barber’s. Just use your favorite!
  • I can’t find sour cream french onion dip. What can I use instead? If you can’t find the sour cream dip, you can substitute regular sour cream and a spoonful of onion soup mix.
  • Can quiche be made in advance? Yes! You can make this quiche ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight.
  • Can I freeze quiche? Absolutely! You can make this quiche ahead of time and freeze unbaked for later. When you are ready to bake the quiche, thaw it completely in the fridge and bake as directed below. I always have at least one quiche in the freezer for a quick meal. 
  • You can also freeze any leftovers. I like to cut the leftover quiche into slices and freeze them. I wrap the slices in plastic wrap and store them in a ziplock freezer bag. Just thaw and reheat in the microwave when you are ready to eat.
