This is my recipe that won First Place in a quiche bake-off that we held in my department today. I used a blend of mild and extra sharp cheddar cheeses, but use any cheese that suits your concept of Philly cheesesteak.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

An easy breakfast quiche with all the flavors of a Philly Cheesesteak. Sauteed onions, green bell peppers, and slices of roast beef are mixed with an egg custard and poured into a deep dish pie crust. Topped with a healthy dose of cheese, it's a hearty meal that's great for brunch or dinner. We opted to top ours with shredded provolone cheese to keep with the Philly Cheesesteak flavor profiles, but sharp cheddar could also be used.

How To Make philly cheesesteak quiche

  • Saute onions and green peppers.
    1
    Prepare the unbaked pie shell. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Preheat a 10-12" skillet on medium heat. Grease the skillet with oil/butter (your choice, but I prefer butter). Add the sliced onion and green pepper. Cook the onions and peppers until they are tender (not mushy); about 10 minutes.
  • Beat the eggs and milk together. Blend in the nutmeg, salt, and some ground black pepper.

    Bake the quiche for 45 minutes at 375 F. Use a clean sharp knife to test for doneness (poke the center and see if it comes out clean). The center should not jiggle. If not done, continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes.
