Check out our recipe to learn how to make this delicious, customizable quiche! It is the perfect make-ahead breakfast for back to school, and you can customize it to your kiddos liking. Don’t forget to serve it up on our durable, kid-friendly dishes, Green Band!
Make sure your butter, cream cheese, and water is ice cold! If your dough gets warm and sticky, put it in the freezer for 15 minutes, and then try to roll it out again. If you want to skip making the dough from scratch, store bought pie crust will work just fine.
Before baking the pie crust, make sure to line the dough with parchment paper and fill the crust with dry beans or other weights to prevent the crust from puffing up.
