This might come as a shock to you, but not everyone in the world loves quiche. Crazy, right?! It can’t possibly have anything to do with the flavor, which usually has notes of salty cheese, smoky bacon or ham, savory herbs, and other delicious things. So I’ve concluded that it must be the texture. Not everyone is a fan of custard, apparently. Luckily for those non-quiche-eaters, my friend Marcelle is here to save the day with her hearty self-crusting quiche. Trust me, it’s amazing! Most quiches have lots of eggs and lots of milk or cream or half-and-half, but this tasty quiche has lots of eggs and lots of cheese–that’s it! It’s basically baked scrambled eggs loaded with at least 2 kinds of cheese, and flour and butter to give it a nice, thin, bubbly crust. In the words of Marcelle’s husband, Dave, “I don’t like quiche, but I like this quiche.” It’s the quiche for custard-haters.

This quiche is amazing…I miss Marcelle a lot.
I miss Marcelle too. I’m glad we’ll get to see them this summer! Berry-picking, here we come!
Yummm! I’m going to attempt this for our next brunch party. Also, I’m forwarding this to my sister, who is the queen of quiche. Thanks, Marcelle and Melissa!
Joy, let me know what you think when you make it! It is very different from traditional quiches, but in a hearty, satisfying way. I served it at a family brunch a few months ago, and everyone was delighted!
We find this a great way to use up all the dibs and dabs of various cheeses that we have in the fridge. It is never the same twice but always good.
Hi Dave! I’ve always assumed that when you left comments it was actually Marcelle leaving comments. But now I know it really is you! We miss you guys!
I didn’t think you were serious when you asked if you could share this on the blog. You always make such amazing, truly amazing recipes–and this one is so ordinary. I usually make it when I’m low on creativity and lower on time to cook dinner. I’m glad to see it here and it makes me remember yummy times eating it with you, which makes me remember that almost every time we were together we ate something yummy (or made something yummy-smelling, like soap). I miss you, my friend. I haven’t found any food-lovers in my new neighborhood yet, and not for lack of trying. Let’s eat together again, as soon as we can.
Marcelle, I know there have to be some food-lovers somewhere for you to team up with–keep searching! We’re so excited to see you guys this summer! Let me know as soon as you know the exact dates, and we’ll plan a feast!
This is the best quiche EVER!!! Going straight into my Favorites file. Thank you! š I added salsa and bacon. AWESOME!
So fun to hear that you love the quiche! I always enjoy it too. I’ll have to pass on your comment to my friend Marcelle! xoxo
This quiche was amazing! We have been eating lower carb and the whole family loved it!! Thanks Melissa and Marcelle! Miss you all!
Hey Stephanie!!! We love this quiche too. I just redid my regular quiche recipe to make it lower in carbs, but this one is so good and already low carb as is!! I’m adding it to next week’s line-up. Miss you too!
This is by far Craig’s favorite quiche! Do you think I could double it and throw it in a 9×13 pan? One 8×8 was gone the same day.
I’m sure you could double it!
