My Favourite Quiche Recipes for Brunch, Lunch or Supper

If there is one dish that has never let me down in all my years of cooking, it is quiche. Whether I am hosting a weekend brunch, pulling together a last-minute lunch, or looking for something a little special for a light supper, quiche is always my answer.

Quiche is endlessly forgiving, wonderfully make-ahead, and honestly, it only gets better as it rests — which makes it the perfect thing to have waiting in the fridge when company arrives. I love that a well-made quiche feels elegant without asking too much of you. A good custard, a flavourful filling, and a golden pastry shell — or no shell at all, if that is what you prefer — and you have something truly lovely on the table.

I have gathered my absolute favourite quiche and savoury tart recipes here, from my classic, never-to-be-messed-with Quiche Lorraine to a few crustless wonders and flaky puff pastry tarts that celebrate the best of every season. I hope you find a new favourite or two in the bunch!

1

Classic Quiche Lorraine

Quiche Lorraine is the queen of quiche, and I never mess with it. Crispy bacon, browned onion, and nutty Gruyere baked into a rich cream and egg custard — it is a simple combination, but simply perfect. It is an indulgence, yes, but an ever-so-worthy one that makes any brunch table feel truly special.

Goat Cheese Quiche

If you are a goat cheese lover, this warm, simple quiche is absolutely for you. Generous rounds of goat cheese are drizzled with a touch of honey before the cream custard goes in, creating a lovely sweet-and-savoury balance. Topped with simply dressed arugula, it is just as lovely for a special dinner as it is for brunch.

Salmon Quiche

This is one of my favourite ways to enjoy salmon — paired with tender leeks, fresh chives, and Gruyere, all baked into a beautiful custard. You can use cooked fresh salmon, canned salmon, or hot-smoked salmon, which brings a wonderful depth of flavour. It fits the bill perfectly for a special brunch or a relaxed dinner.

Butternut Squash Quiche

This meatless quiche is one of my favourite last-minute dinner ideas, and it holds up beautifully if you need to make it ahead. Butternut squash, shallots, and bell peppers come together with crumbled goat cheese in a lovely egg custard. I love serving it topped with balsamic-dressed arugula for a complete, comforting meal.

Crustless Mini Quiche

These clever little bites swap the traditional pastry crust for a shredded sweet potato base pressed into muffin tins — and it works beautifully. I love a bacon and Gruyere filling, but the options are virtually endless depending on what you have on hand. Bake a batch, tuck them in the freezer, and you have the perfect grab-and-go snack or brunch addition ready to go.

Hash Brown Crust Asparagus Quiche

Quiche with a twist! This delicious asparagus quiche uses hash brown potatoes for a crispy crust instead of the typical pastry crust. This quiche is especially suited for Easter brunch, when asparagus is in season.
