Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. You can swap the pie crust for a whole wheat option for a healthier twist. Add a pinch of cayenne for a kick if you're feeling adventurous. Don't skip letting it cool slightly before slicing – it'll hold together better. This quiche can be stored in the fridge for about 3-4 days or frozen for up to a month.
