Use this simple crust-less quiche recipe to make four different delicious quiche variations.

These quiuches are perfect for a quick, easy, and budget-friendly family dinner, or a delicious lunch. They are also delicious cold and make a fabulous lunchbox alternative to sandwiches.

Quiche is such an easy recipe to make, it’s great hot or cold, it freezes and reheats well, and it’s great if you are on a tight budget. Plus, with this one basic, crust-less, quiche recipe you can make endless varieties of quiche.

This simple recipe is easy for kids to cook, and a fabulous way to use veggies kids have grown, which can also be a great way to get hesitant kids to try new foods. Growing the vegetable and then cooking it themselves can be so empowering for kids.

We eat this quiche recipe often, especially during spring and summer when I add in whatever veggies we happen to have growing in the garden.

I have a bunch of the rice and veggie slice version frozen in slices to make quick and easy lunches, or to add as a side dish for dinner. It’s so great to know that I have a quick, veggie packed, dinner option if one of the kids doesn’t eat what everyone else is having.
