Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. That being said, I usually end up eating around ‘brunch’ time. For some reason, eating first thing in the morning doesn’t sit well with my system.
So, I try to have some kind of a breakfast casserole or quiche on hand. It can be cut and warmed in the microwave in just a few minutes. And we love a good hearty quiche.
This one is so good that we had to have a piece of it almost as soon as it came out of the oven. I hope you’ll give it a try. I believe you’ll agree that this one is packed full of goodness 👍
