Bacon, Sausage & Cheddar Quiche

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.

This bacon, sausage and cheddar quiche was so basic and delicious!  The flavors of the bacon, sausage and cheddar really make it a very many quiche and perfect for a crowd.  I mean, really, you’ve got bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese in one egg dish! No one could pass that up.
