Don’t be fooled by the name of this Breakfast Quiche recipe…it’s absolutely delicious at any time of day! Serve it warm for dinner with a crispy side salad, or pop it in your lunch box to enjoy at work (or at a picnic!) over the next couple of days.
While we’ve thrown in mushrooms and tomatoes, there’s nothing to stop you mixing things up with different ingredients. You could always add onion, peppers, spinach or other veggies – just be sure to adjust the calories, if you’re keeping track.
To make things creamier without ramping up the calories, we’ve stirred in a couple of tablespoons of quark. If you’re not a fan of quark (or you’re cooking for dairy-free diets), you can leave it out – it’ll be just as tasty!
For slimming-friendly inspiration that tastes amazing served hot or cold, take a scroll through our top picnic recipes here.

You can make it for dairy-free diets as long as you swap out the quark.

The beauty of this simple recipe is that you don’t need any fancy ingredients.

Is this recipe in one of your cook books? If so which one?
HollyThursday 12th June 2025
Hey Melanie, this recipe is exclusive to our website so doesn’t currently appear in any of our books, hope that helps!
MarinaFriday 28th April 2023
Hi,
Is it possible to replace quark with something else?
Many thanks
SharonMonday 15th May 2023
Hi Marina, the quark adds a little creaminess but you can leave it out if you prefer and the quiche will still taste great. Alternatively, you could use another creamy soft cheese such as cottage cheese (blitz it first to make it smooth), plain fromage frais or you could use plain fat free Greek yoghurt. Hope this helps.
EmilyThursday 2nd June 2022
Is the calories per slice please
HollyMonday 6th June 2022
Hey Emily, yes all of the nutritional information is for one portion of the quiche, hope that helps!
Emily garrodMonday 6th June 2022
Roughly how much I’m grames is per slice please?
HollyMonday 6th June 2022
Hey Emily, we work out our recipes on the serving size not by weight. To work out your own weight of a serving you would need to make the finished dish and divide servings, as the weight will vary due to variation of ingredients and water content it’s not something we can do as an exact measure. If you scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page on the website there is a little arrow by servings and you can alter up or down to serve more or less people. Hope that helps!
Amanda RichardsonFriday 19th March 2021
Hi, I don’t have a silicone cake mould, can I use an ordinary ceramic quiche dish please ?
HollyMonday 22nd March 2021
Hi Amanda, yes you can use a ceramic quiche dish you may need to spray it with a little low calorie cooking spray to stop it sticking but it will still work great!
samantha healeySunday 3rd January 2021
Could I add lacto free or low fat cheese instead of quark?
SharonMonday 4th January 2021
Hi Samantha, we haven’t tried this ourselves, but a soft lacto free or a soft low fat cheese should work fine in this recipe.Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Karen SmithMonday 19th October 2020
Hi, I’m on my second attempt at cooking this and its been cooking for 45 mins so far but there is still a lot of liquid in it…. help!
HollyMonday 19th October 2020
Hi Karen, it could be that your oven is cooler than ours we use fan assisted ovens for all of our recipes. You could try increasing the temperature slightly and continue to cook until the quiche is set and golden in colour. Hope that helps!
Lynn PrestonFriday 21st February 2020
Hi, I have made this twice now and the taste is great but it always goes soggy on top from the mushrooms presumably. Would you recommend I cook them first?
Holly LevellMonday 18th May 2020
Hi Lynn, I’m sorry you’ve had trouble with the Breakfast Quiches. You could try cooking the mushrooms first to remove some of the moisture or cook the quiche for slightly longer. Hope that helps!
Diane TowlardSunday 14th July 2019
Can you use fat free fromage frais instead of quark TIA
Sharon FitzpatrickMonday 18th May 2020
Hi Diane, thanks for your question. Yes, using fat free fromage frais should be fine. Let us know how it goes!
