If you keep a sourdough starter, chances are you sometimes find yourself with some extra sourdough discard (unfed starter).
Recipes like this are perfect for using that leftover starter in and will be a crowd pleaser for the family, as well!
Why I love this recipe
Quick – This recipe is an easy and fast one pan meal to get on the table on the busy evenings. It would also make a great breakfast!
No wait sourdough – Most sourdough recipes require you to mix up a dough and let it ferment for several hours. No wait recipes use the starter only, so there is no extra time allowing the recipe to ferment.
Delicious – Using simple ingredients doesn’t mean simple taste! This quiche is packed with flavor and will delight the taste buds!

How to make this recipe
Place a 10 inch Cast Iron Skillet (use my coupon: THEROSEHOMESTEAD for 10% off!) in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, veggies, salt, pepper, and garlic.
If you buy block cheese, use a box grater to shred 1 cup of cheese.
After oven has preheated, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour 1 cup of starter in.
Quickly spread out the starter evenly in the pan and up on the sides as well.
It will start to bake immediately so spread as quickly has you can.
Place back in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
Place back in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the eggs are set and firm.
Serve the quiche along side a serving of veggies for the perfect meal.
Variations
Add 1-2 cups of spinach to the egg mixture for added nutrition.
Instead of chopped veggies, try adding skillet fried potatoes to the mixture. This variation is delicious!
Storage
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
