What is Quiche?
At it’s heart quiche is a egg custard, a mixture of eggs and milk baked into a pastry crust (it can also be made crust free). This base has endless variations that you can customize with different veggies (including spinach, broccoli, mushrooms and tomatoes), herbs, cheeses as well as bacon, ham or sausage. My Butternut Squash Quiche is always a favorite and for other great breakfast recipes take a look at my Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash and Baked Prosciutto Egg Cups.
