The Best Bacon, Cheese and Vegetable Quiche Ever

This recipe is so easy that someone who has never cooked before can make it. It’s true, my brother borrowed my favorite blue apron and learned how to make a vegetable quiche. We spent the day talking about some fun techniques like how to dice, chiffonade and sauté and we ended up with a beautiful quiche served with sliced apples.

The good thing about a quiche is that it is customizable. Would you like to add ham instead of bacon? Swap out red bell peppers for tomato or add mozzarella and parmesan instead of cheddar… you can do it all. The only thing that you have to make note of is that it your add ins aren’t too watery and your egg to milk ratio is perfect. Once you do that, you will have a perfectly rustic, homemade quiche.

What to Serve With a Quiche:

Breakfast potatoes

Fruit Parfait

Sliced fruit- we used apples

A glass of green tea
