I hadn’t made a quiche in years. It was the baking thing. I had almost forgotten how easy baking is. It is a lazy person’s way to go. May have to put up a hammock out by the cookhouse. This is a delightful quiche. Read more Lots of flavor and well balanced. All agreed, I should do this more often. See less
