SLOW COOKER BEEF AND CHEESE QUICHE
Eggs, cheese, beef, tomatoes, onion, and seasonings come together to create a delightful breakfast or brunch with this recipe for Crock-Pot Beef and Cheese Quiche!
Recently, a friend gifted me a dozen eggs from her backyard flock of chickens, and I was inspired by the ingredients I had in my refrigerator (diced beef, cheddar cheese, and a tomato from the garden) to whip up this delicious beef and cheese quiche for breakfast.
The ingredients are simple, and this recipe is quick to prepare and throw into the slow cooker. However, it does require about 4 to 5 hours to cook.
So, if you want to enjoy this in the morning for breakfast, the best option is to prepare it the night before (I typically set it up in the slow cooker while making dinner). After it’s cooked, refrigerate it, and in the morning, you can simply reheat it.
In fact, this recipe is perfect for meal prep, ensuring you have ready-to-go breakfasts that make those busy mornings getting the family ready for work or school a little bit easier.
Alternatively, you can prepare this recipe for brunch. Our family attends church on Sunday mornings, and I often start this in the slow cooker in the morning, ensuring it’s ready by the time we return. I set out some coffee and orange juice, perhaps some fresh fruit, and the family enjoys a delicious brunch.
Of course, there’s no rule saying you can only have quiche for breakfast or brunch. I find it to be a great option for lunch or a light dinner when paired with a fresh garden salad.
No matter when you choose to enjoy it, I’m confident you’ll find this recipe delightful!
