A Very Rich And Tasty Quiche All It Needs Is A Simple Mixed Salad For That Perfect Light Lunch Or Supper. A great favourite with everyone who tried it, I used to serve for pre-dinner nibbles but instead of the bacon used a nice Parma Ham, It Will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days if well wrapped.
