Easy Quiche Recipe

This Monterey Chicken Quiche recipe is a weeknight favorite. I always have the ingredients on hand to whip this up at a moment’s notice. We ate this for lunch and had the leftovers for dinner the same day. Chicken, spinach, french fried onions, and Monterey Jack cheese. YUM! This quiche comes together in a snap and is ready to eat in about an hour. If you are making this for a crowd, you might want to double the recipe. I promise it won’t last long.

How to Make Monterey Chicken Quiche

This recipe is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Place the cooked chopped chicken and french fried onions in the bottom of a deep-dish pie crust. Sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, and sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour the egg custard mixture into the pie crust. Place quiche on a baking pan and bake until a toothpick or knife inserted into the middle of the quiche comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
