Ingredients

Meatloaf and Cheese

  • 2 cups crumbled leftover cooked meatloaf
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (diced)

Custard Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup Bisquick
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the quiche evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a deep dish 10-inch pie plate or alternatively, use a seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking and distribute heat well.
  3. Layer Meatloaf and Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled leftover meatloaf and diced cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie plate. This forms the flavorful base of your quiche.
  4. Beat Eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with salt and ground black pepper to season the custard.
  5. Make Custard Mixture: Pour the milk into a separate medium bowl, add the Bisquick, and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Then add the beaten eggs to this mixture and whisk until fully combined, creating a rich custard.
  6. Pour Custard Over Filling: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the meatloaf and cheese in the pie plate, allowing it to soak through the layers evenly.
  7. Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the custard is fully set.
  8. Cool: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. This resting time helps it set further and makes slicing easier.
  9. Serve: Slice into portions and serve warm. This quiche pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or breakfast potatoes.
