Buffalo Chicken Quiche

This Buffalo Chicken Quiche is great for brunch, dinner, or a potluck. It has a bit of heat and a lot of cheesy goodness from mozzarella and blue cheese.

This quiche combines the key ingredients of boneless buffalo wings in quiche form. It’s a quiche with a little kick. For the cheese component, I paired mozzarella with blue cheese. The mozzarella serves as a filler without competing with the blue cheese’s flavor. However, any mildly flavored cheese can be used instead of mozzarella.

I also use a secret ingredient for this quiche—instant mashed potato flakes! Without it, I would have to add more eggs and/or cheese to help with binding and structure. A couple of tablespoons of this stuff firms up the custard filling. More importantly, it soaks up the liquid without adding too much fat.

If you like buffalo wings, you will like the flavor of this quiche.

Recipe highlights:

Start by blind baking the crust. Simply line the pie shell with parchment or foil, add dried beans or rice, and then bake.

Use a large spoon to flatten large air pockets gently.

Next, cook some onion and garlic.

Make the custard filling.  Combine the wet ingredients and seasoning.

Here comes the secret ingredient!  Blend well.

Next, the star of the show…precooked chicken.

Hold on—here comes the cheese…

and the onions.

Some of you might be wondering about the cooked onion and garlic. That’s a good catch! I realized that I had forgotten them when I placed the pie in the oven. To fix the situation, I removed the pie and stirred in the ingredients that were egregiously left behind. No worries; it came out just fine!

Anyway, the whole shebang goes into the pie shell…

edges lined with foil to prevent burning…

And then back in the oven, it goes. Lookin’ good! It’s time to enjoy the fruits of our labor!
