One of my favorite things to eat in France is a quiche. Buttery, flakey crust filled with a delicate cheesy custard. It makes a perfect brunch dish because you can make it ahead of time, and serve it room temperature, or warm it in your oven before serving. This recipe is easily modified to add whatever your favorite quiche fillings are -- asparagus, mushroom, ham, proscuitto -- the possibilities are endless!
