So let’s discuss the reasons to useyour slow cookerin the spring…

One, we are often busier in the spring than we are in the cold dark winter months. Spring parties, sports, and work events can take up a lot of evening hours. Using a slow cooker allows you to set-and-forget dinner, so you can spend more time enjoying the warm weather.

Two, using a slow cooker saves energy and keeps your house cool. If you’re one of those people that refuses to use the oven in the spring and summer, you can still “bake” in your slow cooker.

How To Make Our Slow Cooker Easy Breakfast Quiche Recipe

Chop all veggies and ham. Then place the onions, bell peppers, and garlic in a small nonstick skillet and sear over medium to soften, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, place an 18-inch piece of parchment paper on the countertop. Place the two rolled-out pie crusts on the parchment, overlapping in the center, to create one long piece of crust, about 17- to 18-inches long. Press the overlapped portion together, then move into a large 6-quart oval slow cooker. Gently fit the crust down into the creases of the slow cooker, and press the excess crust against the sides. Crimp the edges, making sure the crust goes 2 1/2 to 3 inches up the sides.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, ground mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together until smooth and frothy. Whisk in black pepper to taste. Then stir all the veggies, ham and cheese into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.

Press the sides of the crust against the crock again to make sure they are secure. Then place a long piece of paper towel over the slow cooker and cover with the lid. Pull the paper towel edges tight so it doesn’t sag. (The paper towel with absorb condensation.) Turn the slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours, until the edges of the crust are brown and the center of the quiche is set. Lift the entire quiche out of the slow cooker by the edges of the parchment paper. Cool for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make This Ahead Of Time and Store It In The Refrigerator?

You could do this the night before, but I wouldn’t let the liquid mixture sit in the pie crust longer than 12 hours before cooking.

Can I Make This a Crustless Quiche?

I’ve never tried it without crust, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. Just make sure you have one solid piece of parchment paper underneath to lift it out easily.

How Long Will Leftovers Last In The Fridge?

You can store your leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days when stored properly. Make sure to let it cool completely before wrapping well with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil so that you can keep as much moisture out as possible.

Reheat in the oven at 250 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until just warm enough. You can also serve it cold.

Can I Store This Easy Quiche Recipe In The Freezer?

You can freeze this quiche for up to 3 months, but know that the filling will make the crust go soggy, so I would not suggest freezing the leftovers.

What Other Ingredients Can I Add?

You could add…

  • Bacon
  • Sausage
  • Tomatoes and other vegetables
  • Other cheeses (like sharp cheddar cheese or swiss cheese)

Can I use milk instead of cream in my quiche? ›

While it is not as traditional for quiches such as quiche Lorraine, you can use milk instead of heavy cream for quiche. While the results are not *as* rich as if heavy cream is used, I find that by the time you factor in the cheese and eggs, the quiche is not at all lacking in indulgence.

Why is my quiche tasteless? ›
