Quiche is an amazing dish that seems fancy and complicated but is actually super easy to make. There are so many different versions that you can have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
A quiche is a dish made with a buttery, flakey, crust and filled with a savory egg filling that is usually combined with a variety of meats, cheeses and vegetables. It is very filling and keeps my hungry family full well past the next meal.
Holiday mornings are always the best days to have a family breakfast feast. I love to wake up early before the house stirs and prepare our family’s holiday breakfast. And a delicious breakfast quiche is usually our main dish. We love it with bacon, sausage, or ham and lots of cheese. I also like to add a few veggies to the mix to give it extra flavor. Since Easter Sunday is coming up, I wanted to share our family’s favorite breakfast quiche; sausage, cheese and green chili.
