One of our most requested breakfast entrees in our signature Spinach Quiche.
What I love about this is that guests SO enjoy it, and it’s SO easy to put together.
About a gajillion years and five houses ago, I was paging through my (then new) Betty Crocker Cookbook. This was in the days before the internet was even a glimmer in someone’s eye. You had to work with what you had, however great or little that was.
I found a recipe for “Swiss Pie” which was the first iteration of what we serve today. Well, I don’t like Swiss cheese, so I changed that out. In another round I added an extra egg to the dish, then later found a way to shortcut the sour cream and chopped up onion. Many years later I happily settled into this perfect, delicious go-to recipe.
Give it a shot. I promise it won’t take years to perfect!
