Happy Tuesday everyone! Â Today I have a delicious quiche recipe to share with you that I made last week when we had the in laws over for dinner.
I was nervous about this one, like I always am with quiches.  I anxiously await for it to set like there is a possibility that it won’t happen.  Truth be told, it is EXTREMELY hard to mess up a quiche.  Eggs + veggies in the oven for 30-60 minutes depending on your amount of eggs and liquid, you are most likely good to go.  I guess it’s the depending on the amount of eggs and liquid part that has me anxiously biting my nails till I see it beginning to set.
My favorite part of baking a quiche (aside from when it starts to set) is when it starts to smell up the house and guest start talking about how excited they are. Â This Shaved Brussel Sprouts and Spinach Quiche let off the best slightly sweet yet savory smell, even the Brussel Sprout haters were excited for dinner. Â I served it with some roasted red potatoes which I tossed with olive oil, garlic salt, and rosemary. I threw those in the oven with the quiche and baked them until they were tender (about 35 minutes).
It came out fantastic and it was a hit with everyone! Â Let me know if you try it! Â (Remember to click through for the recipe if you are using a reader like feedly.)
