The Best Pan for The Job

Do you plan on making this delicious breakfast recipe for a weeknight dinner? This is the best quiche recipe and perfect for asparagus season. GOOD NEWS! This delicious quiche recipe can be made any most pans. See below for a list of the best pans to use when making a quiche.

PIE PAN: While less impressive looking than quiches made in other pans, a pie plate quiche is totally servable.

CAKE PAN: Just like the pie pan, using a cake pan is not a “showy” as a tart pan but will offer a dee rich layer of filling and custard. The only problem is the quiche can’t be unmolded.

SPRINGFORM PAN: A springform pan lets you create a deep, impressive quiche, and thanks to its removable sides, you can showcase your work.

TART PAN: If you prefer a very neat looking quiche, the tart pan is for you. With the removable bottom, you can easily unmold it to showcase your delicious quiche.

SQUARE PAN: If the quiche is square is it still considered a quiche or a casserole. Whatever you choose to call it, isn’t it nice to know you can make a quiche in a square pan?
