This particular beef quiche can be cooked in a 9” pie pan or larger. It depends on whether you prefer a thick or thin quiche. No matter the size, though, it’s delicious. And it’s good for the whole family. I made this recipe when I was visiting my daughter and her family. My little grandchildren loved it.

Ribeye quiche

Previous to making the hamburger quiche, I made one like it at home except I used leftover ribeye steak. I shaved off thin slices of leftover steak.

You can use other types of beef steak as well. Cut small thin pieces for a smooth quiche. Otherwise, your quiche could turn out too chewy.

Difference in the pan size

One difference between my ribeye and hamburger quiches was the pan size. At home I used a smaller pie pan. However, I couldn’t find the same size pan in her cupboards. Therefore, I baked the hamburger quiche in her large cast iron skillet.

The difference in the pan sizes meant one quiche turned out thicker than the other. The hamburger quiche was thin, sort of like a pizza.

This quiche crust is light, crusty, and SO good! And it’s very easy and quick  to make.
