Quiches are pies too! And I love a good quiche! I truly think that this recipe is the best I’ve found! Seriously! It’s perfect for any meal, and packs so much flavor!
The primary stars of this quiche are Bacon, (we love Applewood Smoked!) steamed chopped Broccoli, and shredded Sharp Cheddar (I like Extra Sharp!) – all of these things you probably already have in the fridge! I also use refrigerated pie crust, or you can use frozen pie shells. (If you buy the pack of 2, you have enough to make this quiche AND the Tomato Pie also in this week’s post! 😉 ) To achieve the melt in your mouth richness, the recipe calls for 1 cup of heavy cream or half & half. But you can use milk too, if that’s all you have on hand!
