There are lots of dishes that are a great way to use up leftovers. I think almost every culture has come up with some way to use whatever thy have on hand to make a great dish. Burritos, Pad Thai, Baked Frittata, pasta puttanesca, breakfast hash, etc.

Quiche is one of those dishes that is perfect for leftovers. I used our leftover Easter ham, leftover kale, and a mix of leftover cheeses I needed to use in the drawer to make the quiche this time.

In the past we made up a few different kinds of quiche to appease different family members. I love that about quiche how you can have so many different varieties to appeal to all the different people in your family. The base mix is the same.

What size dish can you make quiche in?

Depending on the shape and size of your ramekins you will have to carefully watch the cooking time. I used a combination of 6 ounce oval ramekins and a 7 ounce round ramekin. The round ramekin took a little bit longer to cook than the oval ones.

Each 6 ounce ramekin was definitely enough for 2 servings. If you wanted you could use 4 ounce ramekins and I would start by decreasing the cooking time to about 15-2o minutes to start.

I got white ramekins as hand me downs but I found these beautiful ramekins from Le Creuset on Amazon. Be still my heart they are my favorite color and match the teapot I got for my birthday a few years ago. They have them available in several different colors too!
