I don't do recipes so much as strategies.
Quiche is nothing more than baked custard in the pie shell filled with "stuff"
So, given that you need a pie shell: you can put in a pie pan or a tart pan. You can blind bake it, or not. Then you need the custard. Proportions vary but 2:1 dairy:egg is typical. And (finally) you need the "stuff" which could be spinach, cooked potato, ham, cheese, chorizo, beans, anything really. So, put some "stuff" in the pie shell, pour in the custard mix and bake at 375 until the whole thing giggles like jello.
Quiche Lorraine would be classic: Swiss Cheese, bacon
Carmelized Onion is plenty awesome
Oh and Spinach and Ricotta cheese for somethng Florentine
You could also forgo the pie shell and use almost all egg, but that would be a Fritatta.

Glad to hear you're back where you need to be. We all have our moments. I'm still having those late night cravings. But WOW! ... 17 pounds is not much at all. You're in the home stretch. I can't wait until I am.
I laughed out loud when I read what you said about your kids wanting double portions. One of my sons asked why I was laughing. lol
I had my doctor's visit today and he said I am doing great so I was happy to hear that. He also said I could have wine now so, as I am sipping some right now, I can say I was equally as happy to hear that. LOL
Anyway ... Keep up the good work.
