3. Salmon & watercress quiche
This generously filled quiche offers a tempting way to use smoked salmon. The salty fish and peppery watercress are a great combination, paired with a herby dill filling. It is good served warm or at room temperature, if you want to make ahead.
4. Vegan spinach & cherry tomato quiche
For an option everyone can enjoy, try this vegan quiche recipe. We’ve used olive oil for a crumbly pastry with great flavour, with tofu and oat milk for a creamy filling with no eggs or dairy required.
5. Souffléd crab & asparagus tart
For an extra light and fluffy result, this crab and asparagus quiche recipe whisks egg whites until stiff for a special souffléd result. This elegant tart would also work well as a dinner party starter – bake the pastry and prep the filling ahead of time, then bake just before guests arrive. Discover our how to cook asparagus guide.
6. Roasted tomato, basil & parmesan quiche
Classic Italian flavours transform this dish, and it’s perfect for summer dinners al fresco, especially if you’ve got a glut of cherry tomatoes or bountiful basil plant to use. Cherry tomatoes are roasted until they’re sweet and juicy, while parmesan and basil are stirred into the creamy filling.
7. Sticky onion & cheddar quiche
Caramelising onions until deeply golden and sticky takes a little patience and time, but the results are worth it. They are the hero ingredients in this simple quiche, paired with cheddar for extra richness.
8. Coronation quiche
It’s a picnic lunch fit for a King. Buckingham Palace has created this special coronation quiche recipe ahead of coronation celebrations. It’s filled with fresh spinach, tarragon and broad beans, with plenty of cheddar for extra indulgence. Serve hot or cold with salad and potatoes.
9. Easy crustless quiche
Is it a quiche without a crust? We think this gluten-free quiche recipe is worth the debate, and still has the signature creamy filling. Chopped pancetta or bacon adds the flavour of a quiche Lorraine, and we’ve also included green veg – use asparagus when it is in season or go for broccoli at other times of year. If a crust is essential, try our goat’s cheese gluten-free quiche made with gluten-free flour.
10. Butternut, sage & hazelnut quiche
Quiche doesn’t have to be just for summer and picnics – this autumnal recipe means you can enjoy quiche all year round. Chilli-roasted butternut squash, crispy sage fried in butter and creamy chunks of feta pack in plenty of flavour for an irresistible combination.
