This is one basic quiche recipe that you'll come back to again and again. Easy and elegant, it can be dressed up with any vegetables or herbs you like, or with bacon or a vegetarian meat substitute for a little extra savory component.
We like to use this dairy-free pie dough recipe for this recipe, but if you prefer a tart-style quiche, any dairy-free tart dough recipe also works well.
