Ham and Cheese Quiche.

 My husband recently celebrated his 20-year high school reunion. Along with the festivities came house guests and I found myself needing to prepare brunch for a crowd. So what did I make? Quiche. I mean who doesn’t love a quiche?! Quiche is my go-to dish when entertaining at breakfast/brunch. Quiche can be made using a variety of different ingredients, can be made in advance and freezes well.
 

We enjoyed this quiche with a fruit salad and biscuits with homemade strawberry butter. And while I was making them, I went ahead and made a few extra to put in my freezer for easy dinner this winter.

 

Enjoy!
