Since Bisquick’s inception in 1931, when Carl Smith pitched the idea of a premade baking mix to General Mills executives, Bisquick has been teaching novice cooks how to bake for generations. There is a reason why this nostalgic recipe still resonates today, CONVENIENCE!
Although Bisquick’s Impossible Quiche recipe hasn’t appeared on the back of its box for decades, its popularity has stood the test of time – surging during the 1960s and 70s when consumer demand for fast, flavorful food was on the rise. The recipe got its name because of how ‘IMPOSSIBLY EASY’ it is to make. In fact, there is no need to even make a crust; the Bisquick mix settles to the bottom during baking, and magically creates its own!

FAQs & Tips
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat quiche slices in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through and slightly toasty, about 20 minutes. To freeze, wrap cooled slices individually in plastic wrap and place in an airtight bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Firstly, try using a meat alternative. Substitute baked tofu, or seitan instead of bacon (or beef) if you’re trying to cut back on saturated fat and cholesterol. You can also swap in non-dairy milk (although this will affect the consistency) or add in some extra veggies. Don’t overfill the stuffing though. Whether you’re substituting broccoli or mushrooms for meat, or Gruyère for Swiss cheese, make sure not to exceed ¼-½ cup of filling, per egg to ensure the quiche cooks properly.
Make sure to let your quiche cool down before serving (about 15-20 minutes). If you slice the quiche too soon, it won’t hold its shape and fall apart.
