The Quiche was actually invented by the French because Queen Elizabeth was coming for a visit & they didn’t know what to make to impress her. They said, “Those damn English love their pies don’t they? Just put an omelette in a pie shell and call it a day.” https://buff.ly/2LZHOTR

I’m making asparagus mushroom quiche this morning. Sooooo tasty! (For those who have never tried a quiche it’s basically a fancy omelette in a pie shell.) #HomeCooking #Quiche #FancyBreakfast #HomeGrown #OohLaLa
