Quiche: A classic for the ages
Quiche is one of my favorite recipes to make, especially for brunch or breakfast. It’s easy to prepare and can be made with a variety of ingredients, making it a versatile dish. I usually make a large quiche and eat it for breakfast for the next few days. This way, I can save time and still have a healthy and filling breakfast.

One of the great things about quiche is that you can put pretty much anything in it. My personal favorite is spinach and mushroom, but I have also made quiches with bacon, sausage, and various vegetables. I like to experiment with different ingredients to keep things interesting. No matter what you put in it, the quiche always turns out delicious.
I also love how quiche can be served hot or cold, making it a perfect dish for any time of day. It’s great to have in the fridge for a quick breakfast or snack, and it’s easy to heat up if you want it warm. Overall, quiche is a recipe that I will always keep in my repertoire. It’s a classic dish that’s simple to make but always impresses.
