Brunch Goals

Author sitting at table smiling

I’ve always had a soft spot for brunch. There’s just something about the slower pace, the lingering over coffee (or mimosas), and the excuse to eat things like eggs and pasta and champagne all on the same plate.

My husband and I had a favorite little brunch spot when we were dating—tiny, always packed, always worth the wait. They served bottomless mimosas, the creamiest fettuccini Alfredo, and the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my life.

The kind of place where people would spill out onto the sidewalk with their dogs, happily sipping and waiting for a table with absolutely nowhere else to be.

This Eggs Benedict Quiche is my cozy at-home version of that whole experience. Bubbly mimosas optional (but highly encouraged).

Ingredients  

Quiche

  • 1 pie crust store bought or favorite recipe..I share my recipe for pie crust here
  • 5 large eggs
  • ¾ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup milk ***read notes
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 6 ounces canadian bacon diced

Blender Hollandaise Sauce

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ degrees. Roll pie crust out and fit into 9 inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and flute the edges.
  • Line the inside of the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or beans (I use pinto beans) make sure that they are up against the sides of the pie crust. Bake the crust for about 20 minutes. Remove the weights and then bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. The crust will be golden.

  • Prepare the egg mixture by adding the eggs to a large measuring cup. Add the heavy cream, then add the milk, the total measurement of the eggs, cream and milk should come to 2 and 1/2 cups. Add the salt and pepper.

  • Mix with a hand mixer to ensure the egg and cream mixture is light. If frothy, let this sit for a moment until the froth goes away, we don't want all a ton of bubbles in our quiche.

  • Spread the diced canadian bacon on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture on top. Bake at 350℉ degrees for about 45-50 minutes. The quiche will be slightly wobbly in just the center.

  • Allow to cool for about 20 minutes to room temperature. Quiche can be served warm, cold, or room temperature.

Blender Hollandaise

  • Add the butter to a small saucepan and heat over low to medium heat.

  • While the butter is melting add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne to blender (I found using the smaller jar for my blender worked better since the blades are able to get the small amounts easier).
    Eggs and seasoning in a blender.
  • Once the butter is just melted and starting to foam up remove from heat.
  • Blend the egg mixture in the blender for about 10-15 seconds then start to drizzle the hot butter into the blender while blending. Be careful!
  • Once the hot butter is all added to the blender continues to blend for an additional 10-15 seconds. You will have a thick sauce. If too thick you can thin out with a small amount of water. You can also adjust seasonings if you prefer more salt or pepper.

  • Use hollandaise sauce immediately. Serve spooned over slices of the quiche. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

The Perfect Ratio:
Total measurement of eggs, cream, and milk should come to 2 and 1/2 cups. Follow this guideline over the amount that is shown in the ingredients list.
Make Ahead:
  • Bake in Advance: Bake the quiche fully, cool completely, then cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat to Serve: Slice and reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30–45 seconds, or warm the entire quiche in a 325°F oven for about 15–20 minutes, covered with foil.
Freezer Tips:
  • To Freeze: Bake the quiche, cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  • To Reheat from Frozen: Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in the oven at 325°F for 20–25 minutes, or until warmed through.
Hollandaise:
  • Best made fresh, but if you want to prep ahead:
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1–2 days.
    • Reheat gently using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 15-second bursts, whisking between each.
Shortcuts:
  • Store-bought pie crust works great and holds up well in both reheating and freezing.
  • Make the quiche base (egg mixture + fillings) up to 24 hours in advance and store in the fridge; pour into crust and bake fresh when ready.

FAQs

Do I have to blind bake the crust?

I highly recommend it since the filling is so liquid-y, blind baking will help the crust stay flakey. It also helps to prevent our filling from leaking out. For more info on pie crusts, check out my Butter Pie Crust recipe.

Can I make this without a crust?

Yes, you can leave out the crust. Add the ham and pour the eggs directly into a pie dish or quiche dish. I recommend spraying with a non stick cooking spray, like avocado oil, first.

  1. I’m confused on the carb count on your posted nutrition info. Is that without the crust? 1/8 of a pie crust has mire than 3 carbs.

  2. This recipe brings up two questions . I’ve always wondered, why use unsalted butter when the recipe calls for salt and can the beans be saved after they’re baked to cook later in chili? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    1. Great questions Linda!
      We use unsalted butter when baking because every butter, every company that makes butter, uses a different amount of salt. So if I’m giving a recipe using a certain type of salted butter, you may be using a different butter with a different amount of salt. So we have no idea of knowing how much salt is in the butter and how much more salt would be needed in the recipe. So to make it an even playing field, we use unsalted butter when baking and add the amount of salt needed on our own. No guessing needed.
      And for the beans. No we can’t use them in another recipe. I keep my beans in a jar labeled as Pie Beans. And I use the same beans every time I bake a pie crust.

      Hope that helps!!

  3. Turned out amazing!! The eggs were creamy. The crust stayed flakey as promised and I was so proud that my hollaindaise turned out too!! Thanks!

      1. Could I make this a day a head of time and just reheat it for dinner the next day? If so how long would it take to reheat?

  4. Hi, thanks for the recipe – can’t wait to try it! If I am using a pre-made pie crust do I still bake for 20 minutes with parchment and 10 without?
    I’m also using pancetta 🙂

    1. Hi Christina! If the pie crust is already baked then no need to pre-bake it. If it’s just a pre-made crust like the ones from Pillsbury, where it’s just the dough, then yes! Still pre-bake it. It keeps the crust nice and flakey.

    1. I always just use regular heavy whipping cream, and it doesn’t matter what brand. I’ve used Lucerne, store brand names, they all turn out the same.

  5. This looks fabulous! I like to add spinach to my Eggs Benedict, Do you think that could be added too? Don’t want to add something that is going to give it too much water…. Can’t wait to try this!!

    1. Hi Lissa! You can absolutely add spinach to the quiche. You can add in fresh baby spinach, just make sure that you pat it dry with paper towels to blot off any extra moisture before adding it in.

  6. Serene: I have a question, what about cheese? Usually quiche contains cheese but I’m not that familiar with Eggs Benedict enough to know if it would change the authenticity of the flavor you are achieving. Thanks!

    Love your blog! I’m in Texas too!

    1. Hi Meredith! You and my husband would get along famously! He’s constantly asking me where the cheese is. And to be honest, this quiche doesn’t need it. The custard made from the egg and cream is so smooth and creamy on it’s own. You will not notice that there isn’t any cheese. My husband asks me every time I make this, “there’s cheese in this one right?” NOPE! Haha. No cheese needed. You can of course add some in if you like!

      1. Amazing, never made one without cheese (swiss) which can be hard to find grated. Need to make quiches this weekend and freeze, to use up some of my girls eggs and couldn’t find the cheese….. which works out fine for me!!

  7. This recipe is genius, can’t wait to make it. One question, I noticed you did not dock the bottom of the pie crust, should I not dock it before blind baking it?

    1. I didn’t dock it because I used pie weights instead. This keeps the pie crust intact so the runny filing doesn’t leak through the crust 🙂
