Healthy Quiche
Healthy Quiche, it’s a really simple meal to prepare and you can eat it at lunch, dinner or as a snack. Besides being a simple dish its also a good way to integrate any leftovers. Another bonus, you will have it on your table, ready to serve in under an hour.
This time I did not make my own puff pastry so that is a little bit of a shortcut. Someday I will bake a quiche completely from scratch with my homemade puff pastry, I promise!
