You know what I love about quiche? It is an incredibly easy and versatile meal. Not only is it an easy vegetarian dinner idea but it also works for breakfast and lunch as well.

Put a slice on the table for breakfast and you have a filling, high protein meal to start your day. Cut a slice and put it in the lunchbox and everyone is happy that it isn’t yet another peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

When choosing the ingredients for any recipe, I am fairly picky about what I use. I choose free range eggs and organic dairy products whenever possible. Supporting companies who raise animals ethically and are concerned with the quality of the final product is very important to me.

Organic Valley is a brand that I have trusted for years and I definitely feel good about using their organic dairy products in my cooking!
