If you're planning a special brunch this Mother’s Day, this vegetable quiche is a thoughtful and stress-free addition to your menu.
It’s filled with a savory mix of eggs, cream, cheese, and seasonal vegetables—and it works just as well with a store-bought crust as it does with a homemade one. If you’re in the mood to bake from scratch, try our vodka pie crust recipe for an extra flaky, buttery base.
The filling comes together quickly and can be made ahead of time. Serve it warm or at room temperature alongside fresh fruit or a green salad for a spring-perfect meal that’s easy to pull off and lovely to serve.
