Easy Quiche Recipe
This recipe, introduced to me by my sister-in-law, always gets rave reviews. Go ahead and follow the recipe! Don’t leave out anything and use the cream, it does make a difference. I have seen my sister-in-law carry these quiche frozen in her carry-on, on an airplane!! You can make the mixture the night before and refrigerate, then the next morning pour into pre-baked crusts and bake or they can be frozen and reheated. Prepared either way it is delicious!
We are going to visit friends for a long weekend and I thought I would take some quiche to help with breakfasts. They are going to love this ham and quiche! This recipe makes two.

Looking for a special drink to serve for a morning with friends. We like making mimosas. This looks like a delicious variation, a tequila sunrise. We might even try this boozy fruit salad.
Thanks for the unique name Skip to My Lou. I might not have found it again otherwise.
Anyway, bon appetite!
Heat on 375 for about 20-25 minutes - that should do the trick!
I am a *terrible* houseguest. Whatever I think to do doesn't seem like enough. So I just try to be as helpful as I can and be as little trouble as I can.
Last weekend we went to a friend's place up north. I made the pie crust and the mixture separately. Put the mixture in a double bagged ziploc and in a cooler on our drive up and made it for our breakfast the first morning of our visit.
THANK YOU!
Yummy!
