This is a perfect brunch. If you are having people over or if you are doing a shower this is a perfect dish you can prepare the night before and just cook it in the morning. One of the hardest things with brunch is to keep the eggs warm or get up early enough to cook and prep in the morning and that is why I love things I can prepare the night before. Not only that; Quiche makes an excellent left over the day after. You can put almost anything you want in a Quiche, but the below recipe is my favorite. They key to this Quiche is to cook the pie crust with Dijon mustard, that is what I think makes the delicious flavor of the whole thing. Here is a link to my pie crust recipe.
Let me know what you like to put in your Quiche.

March 19, 2010 at 5:17 amYour quiche does look DELISH! I thought about adding cottage cheese to mine, but chickened out at the last minute. I am impressed that you make your own pie crust too! I may have to borrow some of these ideas for my next quiche experiment.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
