OK I have searched Pinterest and tried a few but they never taste good. The biggest issue I have is they get soggy and/or greasy when I reheat them.
But I need something I can make Sunday night and then microwave portions each work morning because it's 6 AM and I am not cooking anything then.
I love eggs and cheese and veggies and might be OK with bacon in it but don't care for sausage or ham. Does anyone have a good recipe that fits the bill?
Is this really easier than just making eggs fresh each day? I crack a few, scramble them with grated cheese, toss them in a small greased non stick frying pan, cover and cook until it puffs up. (5 minutes?) Hands off and easy.

I agree. I will often beat two eggs in a pyrex measuring cup and microwave it for about a minute with one stir and get decent quality scrambled eggs. They're done before the bread is toasted and that's a sandwich.
Quiche reheats pretty well and is easy to portion. I'd rather have quiche than some random egg bake thingy.

I'll be honest. DH (voluntarily) does all the cooking in our house and would be making the quiche lol. Anything more than like sticking something in the microwave before work doesn't really interest me. I loathe any sort of cooking and will do it occasionally but already hate mornings and don't want to add that to my morning routine or get up earlier.

I love this sausage, egg, and cheese quiche. Super easy. I use a frozen pie crust and it reheats well. Just make sure to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil so it doesn't burn.
I love this quiche recipe. LOVE! It's a bit high maintenance but so delicious and worth it. It reheats well.
Breakfast Quiche
Ingredients: 1 refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust 1/2 stick butter plus 2T butter for sautéing vegetables 2 T flour 1 C half and half 1 C shredded Swiss cheese 1 small or medium sized zucchini, diced 1 package sliced mushrooms Bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional. You could also use diced ham) 1/2 onion, diced 6 eggs Salt to taste Pepper to taste
Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 2) Over medium heat, melt 2 T butter and sauté the zucchini, mushrooms and onions together in the melted butter until slightly tender (don't overcook). Set aside. 3) In a large mixing bowl, beat 6 eggs with a whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste. 4) In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 stick butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 T flour and cook for 1 minute, while whisking. Slowly add in 1 C half and half, while whisking. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the mixture becomes thicker, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. 5) Take a small amount of the mixture from step 4above and pour it into the beaten egg mixture while quickly mixing, to temper the eggs. Continue to add the mixture from Step 4 very slowly to the egg mixture while whisking briskly the entire time (so as not to scramble the eggs). 6) Mix the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture. 7) Add the Swiss cheese to the egg mixture. Stir well. Add the bacon or ham if you choose to include it in this quiche. 8) Place the pie crust in an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Crimp the edges. Pour the quiche mixture into the pie crust. 9) Bake at 350 for approximately 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven. 10) Remove from oven when the quiche is no longer jiggly in the center and appears fully cooked. 11) Let the quiche sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
NOTE: this recipe is perfect to prepare the night before, refrigerate, and just bake in the oven the next morning!
