Havarti Quiche

Havarti Quiche is the perfect dish to enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. This rich, savory quiche is filled with creamy Havarti cheese, tender spinach, sweet roasted peppers, and a hint of onion, all encased in a flaky pie crust.

Today I bring you a classic quiche with all the best flavors. This recipe makes a quiche with Havarti cheese which is the perfect cheese for quiche.

Havarti melts beautifully, creating a rich and creamy texture that makes every bite of this quiche indulgent.

But also, this is a quiche. That means it can be customized with your favorite ingredients. While I love a spinach red pepper quiche with my Havarti cheese, you might prefer bonus ingredients, and that’s okay!

You can add things such as sausage, mushrooms, green onions, or different types of cheese, to suit your taste.

And the best part about a roasted red pepper quiche is that it can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it ideal for busy mornings or hosting guests.

Whether you’re serving it with a big breakfast, brunch, or dinner, this Havarti quiche is a crowd-pleaser.

What Ingredients Are in Havarti Quiche?

• Fresh Baby Spinach: Adds a fresh, slightly earthy flavor and vibrant color.

How to Make Havarti Quiche?

1. Heat oven & spread your crust in the bottom of your pie pan.
2. Combine eggs, light cream, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
3. Sauté the onion in a little oil until translucent.
4. Layer the spinach in the pie crust, then add the sautéed onion and roasted peppers.
5. Sprinkle the Havarti cheese over the vegetables.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring it spreads evenly.
7. Bake until the quiche is set and slightly golden brown on top.

Pro Tips:

• Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes after baking before slicing. This allows the filling to set and makes it easier to serve.
• Place the pie crust on a baking sheet before filling and baking to catch any spills and make it easier to transfer in and out of the oven.
• For an over the top presentation instead of a quiche pan or 9-inch pie plate, make individual quiches in small pie plates for small servings. Use a mini muffin pan for one bite servings.
