Do you guys remember the old jingle for Pizza Bagel Bites? “Pizza in the morning. Pizza in the evening. Pizza at supper time. When pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime!” (File that song under things I wish I could clear out of my brain and replace with legitimately useful information.) I LOVED Pizza Bagel Bites as a kid and while they were often my go-to afterschool snack, I didn’t shy away from eating them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now that I’m older and a wee-bit more aware of the things I put in my body, I don’t scarf down Bagel Bites at all hours of the day but there are a bunch of foods I do think taste great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, though most of them are traditional breakfast dishes.
Hellooo quiche!
I’ve been such a huge fan of breakfast for dinner for years but I think the love affair began when I was in college and my cooking skills were limited to mostly eggs, oatmeal, quesadillas, sandwiches and Hot Pockets. (True life.) Eggs, French toast and oatmeal were easy go-to dinners for me when I was on a budget and intimidated by cooking. My love for breakfast for dinner continues to this day and it’s one of my favorite go-to evening meal ideas when I’m short on time and didn’t have the chance to meal plan.
On Thursday last week, our latest Blue Apron delivery showed up on our doorstep and I was very excited to open it up because I pre-selected our menu and knew I’d find all of the ingredients I need to make two individual-size quiches. Breakfast for dinner… but elevated! YES! (Side note: It was especially nice to receive a Blue Apron delivery the week after Thanksgiving when I was fresh out of recipe inspiration and didn’t want to think about meal planning or grocery shopping over the weekend. I’m keeping this in mind for the week after Christmas, too!) Also, for those of you who have ordered Blue Apron in the past, did you know you can now choose any combination of the now eight (instead of six) weekly recipes you like? I LOVE this change!!!
Making the quiches was a breeze since all of the farm-fresh ingredients for the chef-designed recipe were included in my Blue Apron delivery along with a detailed recipe card featuring step-by-step photos.
Blue Apron’s Mushroom and Cheese Quiche recipe is fluffy and rich in flavor but didn’t sit heavy in my stomach. The quiche crusts were buttery and flaky while the center of the quiche was creamy yet bright and not too one-dimensional thanks to roasted peppers. And if you’d prefer to make one large traditional-size quiche, I think it would be easy enough to quadruple the filling part of the recipe to pour into a 9-inch pie crust that would serve more people for a crowd-pleasing breakfast… or lunch or dinner! (Ryan and I received the ingredients we needed to make quiche for two because we opted for Blue Apron’s two-person plan, but they have family plans with larger servings available as well.)
We enjoyed our quiche with a side of oregano lemon roasted potatoes which were incredibly easy to make and so tasty! I simply thinly-sliced one russet potato, tossed it in olive oil, dried oregano, salt and pepper and roasted it along with the quiche. The savory, herby taste of the potatoes made them the perfect side dish for a fancier breakfast-for-dinner meal.

Question of the Day
Breakfast for dinner: Yay or nay? What is your favorite breakfast for dinner meal?
I love most breakfast dishes for dinner but my favorite go-to is probably the simple but always-delicious over easy eggs, buttered toast, hash browns and bacon or ham.
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Yum! This quiche is picture-perfect 🙂 And now you’ve got the bagel bites jingle stuck in my head!
We ea breakfast for dinner at least once a week, it’s my favorite! Mostly because i like sweet in the morning like a smoothie or fruit sweetened oatmeal. So I save all the savory dishes for dinner. This quiche looks delicious!
I need to eat breakfast for dinner more often! My favorite meal that fits into that category is actually quiche. I like that I can change up the toppings to fit how I’m feeling (or more likely, whatever I have on hand) and that the roasted veggies I usually throw in lend the dish a little bit more of a lunch or dinner feel.
The Blue Apron quiche you shared looks great! Yum.
College… So. Many. Hot Pockets. And when I was feeling really fancy I would but a slice of cheese on top. Those were the days!
I think breakfast for dinner is great because most of the items are non-perishable. It is so easy to keep biscuits, bacon and eggs in the fridge as a staple.
Not gonna lie… the pizza Hot Pockets really were the best! 🙂
We haven’t had breakfast for dinner in ages!
I did just schedule a Blue Apron delivery for next week though 🙂
I’ve never been a fan of breakfast for for dinner, but I love quiche & definitely don’t eat it enough. Might need to change that!
I jumped on board Blue Apron a month or so ago and I absolutely love it. I have not been disappointed in any of the meals thus far. If I were to go out and buy all the ingredients for one of their meals, I would spend way more than I do with BA. Plus, they are fun to cook and you know you have something in your fridge to make. 🙂
I agree with you, breakfast for dinner is always a good thing! I typical go to breakfast for dinners are eggs with toast or french toast and fruit. I’m not sure if I’ve ever made quiche myself, but it’s definitely a breakfast food that I enjoy.
Are Blue Apron’s meals relatively simple & quick to cook? I have tried Plated before & while I enjoyed getting the ingredients sent to me, the meals were sometimes cumbersome & time consuming to cook. So it felt like I would use them more when we have a week off from work & had time to prep fancier meals vs. a time when we’d need quick & easy.
I think the majority are pretty easy! I have had some recipes take longer than anticipated (stuffed shells come to mind) but you can also see the recipes that you will receive ahead of time before ordering and they all have estimated cook/prep times on them to give you a better idea!
It is my experience that, while they are easy, they are definitely not as quick as my old standbys that are in the regular meal rotation. There is a lot of time spent dealing with packaging, reading new recipes, chopping veggies, etc. For me, they’re more of a novelty for non-crazy-busy days when you can piddle around a little because the meals aren’t exactly something you just whip up in a flash. Hope that helps!
This looks so delicious! We’re a fan of quiche over here and breakfast for dinner. Since I typically have more of a sweet tooth in the evenings, my go-to are pancakes with maple syrup + eggs! And when I ate meat more often, I’d definitely add bacon to the mix. Or if I’m feeling particularly Leslie Knope-ish, waffles. They’re always a good idea. 🙂
Looks good! Was curious/confused if this is your recipe or Blue Apron’s?
Blue Apron’s! It is one of the recipes that came with my latest delivery!
Then why is the author “Julie”
Honestly that was completely out of habit and I didn’t mean for it to look like I was trying to claim this was an original recipe by any means! Just updated the “by” line to say Blue Apron. I mention that the recipe came from Blue Apron several times in this post and apologize if there was any confusion!
I love, love, love Blue Apron!!!! I have been using it for about 3 years now, and can’t say enough great things about it. I too, was very excited about choosing from 8 options versus 6, and with little restrictions. My Blue Apron box comes Friday, and I can’t wait to open it!
I am not really a breakfast for dinner kind of girl, but sometimes if I have nothing to eat that I have a taste for, I just usually have a bowl of cereal.
Have a great day! 🙂
I love a quiche for dinner. That with a side salad and good glass of red feels so french to me for some reason. Its fancy!
Breakfast for dinner is 100% my fave go-to for the same reason – in college/after college, it’s all I knew how to make 🙂
PS – I have the same Blue Apron delivery waiting at home and will be making these quiches tonight!
Did I miss what the lemon is used for in the recipe?
Oops! No! That was for the potato side dish with the recipe. Just removed it from the ingredient list. Sorry about that!!
This looks delicious! Question: where do you put the lemon in the potatoes? With the oil, or do you finish with lemon? Would love to make those potatoes! Thanks!
finish with lemon!
