Western Omelet Quiche

This colorful Western Omelet Quiche is what happens when a savory pie and a Western omelet collide. Eggs, cheese, peppers, green onion and ham all baked together with a luscious creamy custard in deep dish pie shell. Not only is this quiche easy but, it reheats beautifully, too. That could only spell deliciousness in my cookbook.

My Love of Quiche

Quiche reminds me of a little bistro I used to visit with my girlfriends for brunch.  We got together at least one Saturday morning each month to catch up with each other and giggle.  Mainly giggle.  We often met at this little off the beaten path bistro where there was always something delicious being offered as the Chef’s special of the day.  Quiche in every imaginable flavor was a regular rotation on the menu and always a hot favorite.  Personally, I think quiche is fitting for any meal of the day.  Especially when served with a light fruit compote or a salad of mixed salad greens to round out the meal.

If you’re pressed for time, this quiche can be prepared completely in advance, then gently reheated.  Preferably one piece at a time.  The creamy filling is luscious and decadent just as a quiche should be.  If you prefer a different type of cheese, of course adapt the type of cheese in this recipe to suit your preference.  Since my memories of enjoying quiche always involve chatter and laughter make sure you serve it with a healthy dose of each.
