Many of us make quiche at home, perfect for breakfast, lunch, high tea to dinner. This simple and basic quiche recipe is so easy to make and a great presentation for guests. Pour the filling into the pie crust, pop it in the oven and 45 minutes later your quiche is ready. You make it the day ahead, cut into a desire shape just before serving.
Very often I make quiche at home as it is very easy, delicious and tummy filling recipe. Recently I made chorizo sausage and mushroom quiche for my friend's 3 years old daughter's birthday party in a bulk, so I cut into square size, and I was surprised when I saw kids gorged on this quiche. Here, I've taken pic in a hurry before I serve. You can add anything in quiche you like and I think this would be a hit recipe in kid's birthday party too in future.
