Whenever I serve quiche, both of my girls always ask for seconds (which can make any mom’s day!). They love to help me make this recipe…my 5-yr-old can practically mix and pat out the crust all by herself (if she can do it so can you!) while my 2-yr-old happily stirs the egg mixture.
Whole Wheat Quiche With Crust Recipe
Of all the recipes for quiche crust I’ve tried, this one is the easiest to freeze and bakes up so easily! The decision to go whole wheat here wasn’t just to pack some added nutrition into a classic breakfast staple, the texture is better off for it. Sink your fork into this whole wheat quiche crust to see just how savory and adaptable it is!
It’s good leftover the next day too, and you can also try to freeze it once it has been baked. In my opinion it is not quite as spectacular after it has been frozen, but it is still pretty tasty and incredibly convenient! For large families on-the-go, this is one you’re going to want to add to the recipe book.
We decided to make our whole-wheat crust quiche half ham and cheese and half goat cheese and tomato the other night, but there are many tasty things that you can add to this dish depending on your mood (and the contents of your fridge). Quiche is one of those dishes where you can modify it a hundred times over, and still find yourself looking for new ways to experiment!

Ingredients
Easy Whole-Wheat Pie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour (I like King Arthur’s organic white whole-wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Quiche Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups milk (preferably whole)
- 4 eggs (beaten)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a 9-inch pie pan, combine all crust ingredients and mix with a fork.
Use your hands to finish the mixing and then form a ball in the pan. Press it into the pan and bring it up on the sides, and then pinch the top (with your finger or a fork).
Mix all quiche filling ingredients and then pour right into the raw crust…..We mixed bits of ham and cheddar into one half and then diced tomatoes and goat cheese into the other half after pouring it into the crust – it required a steady hand to get the pie pan into the oven without mixing up the two halves!
Bake at 375 for 30 – 40 minutes or until filling is set.
