Quiche.
It seems to be making a great comeback. I remember when it was big in the 80’s. I was too young to cook but I remember eating them. I remember asking someone when I was little what a quiche was after hearing it and being told that it was an egg pie. That was probably the worst and yet pretty accurate description of a quiche. I was hesitant to try after that because I kept picturing a sweet dessert pie of egg. Once I got over that and had a bite I LOVED it. It was a special occasion food that was made for guests.
Quiche are so great because they’re so versatile and can be made a head of time. They can look pretty fancy too! If you make it in a tart pan you’ll get the beautiful fluted look to the crust. I used my new tart pan but every time I’d go to take a picture of a slice it would be eaten. So all I have to show you today is the picture I snapped while it was cooling.
