Fluffy Egg Crock Pot Breakfast Quiche Recipe

Fluffy Egg Crock Pot Breakfast Quiche Recipe

Special mornings deserve a special breakfast like this Crock Pot Breakfast Quiche. Thanksgiving or Christmas morning is a perfect day to serve this fluffy and cheesy breakfast quiche recipe.

What I love the most about this Crock Pot Breakfast Quiche recipe is that the eggs turn out fluffy and moist. Each of the ingredients add a perfect layer of flavor.

Using heavy whipping cream instead of milk will make the best eggs in this breakfast quiche recipe.

I used a homemade pastry crust for this breakfast quiche but you could use two store bought pie crusts.

I found the homemade pastry crust recipe in the current issue of (affiliate link) Better Homes & Garden Slow Cooker magazine.

If you’d like to add some fresh spinach to this Crock Pot Breakfast Quiche recipe you can do that. I had planned on adding some fresh spinach but my daughter reminded me that she doesn’t like spinach with her eggs.

If you don’t have a picky eater like I do you could roughly chop some fresh baby spinach leaves and mix it into the quiche filling.

2. Add the shortening and butter to the bowl and using a pastry cutter work the flour into the shortening and butter until pea size balls form.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time tossing the flour and water together. Continue adding water until the dough starts to hold together and you can work the dough into a ball.
4. On a piece of parchment paper that has been greased with olive oil roll the dough out into a 14 x 11 inch rectangle.

3. Carefully pour the quiche filling into the crock pot over the crust dough Stop filling before the egg mixture reaches the top edge of the crust. Discard any leftover egg mixture if you have any.
4. If there is enough dough above the egg filling to turn down to form a crust edge you can do that if you like.
5. Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours or until the center of the quiche filling is just set.
