Easy Breakfast Quiche with Grits Crust

Tips to make a great quiche:

In this paragraph, I give some tips on how to make a great quiche.

First, whether it is a flour crust, or a grits crust, having the oven piping hot is a main key to a great quiche.

Secondly, add all the toppings (ingredients) you’d like! This is a great time to look at the contents of your fridge that may need to be used up. Veggies such as spinach, zucchini, carrots, and even broccoli are great additions. This is an easy way to sneak nutrients into your family’s diet without them realizing it.

Thirdly, don’t over bake it! You want those eggs barely done when you take it out. Fluffy and moist. Otherwise the eggs will get spongey. And no one wants spongey eggs.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of Grits (doesn’t matter what kind)
• 1 2/3 cups of water for grits
• 2 Tbsp of butter
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (any kind)
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup of milk or heavy cream
• 2 oz of cream cheese
• 1/2 onion sauteed in butter
• 2 tsp of garlic
• ham

• 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup of shredded colby jack cheese
