I feel like I say this about a lot of things because I truly love any and all food, but Quiche seriously might be one of my most favorite things ever. And why don’t I make it very often? It’s not difficult whatsoever and is such a delicious breakfast, brunch, or entertaining essential!
When I was thinking about what kind of quiche I wanted to make for the blog the other day, I was between your good ole fashioned quiche lorraine and this amazingness– Caramelized onion and Bacon quiche loaded with Swiss and Gruyere. I mean…. what’s not to love about that??
With Easter just right around the bend, I wanted to share a few easy brunch staples that can be made ahead of time and popped in the oven before your guests arrive. This quiche is just that! Pair it with fresh fruit and mixed greens and you have yourself a simple yet satisfyingly delicious meal to serve! And of course, don’t forget those mimosa’s! I’ll be sippin’ on some fresh squeezed OJ this year since i’m, you know… pregnant.
Anywho, I hope you enjoy this recipe and most importantly I hope you enjoy Easter with your friends and/or family!
