Basic Quiche

I don’t think quiche gets enough credit for being the well-balanced and simple breakfast treat that it is. You prep a few ingredients, add it all to your pie dish or crust, stick it in the oven, and 40 minutes or so later it is ready to be devoured.

Quiche is also one of my favorite items to prepare for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning. I can make it ahead of time if needed, or get it in the oven while still having plenty of time to open gifts with Andy while we wait for it to cook.
