Tomato basil & Lorraine for the win!
Let's not add to the To Do list. Let's take stress out of the Christmas equation. That's what I've been telling myself lately – and yet getting Christmas breakfast on the table is non-negotiable. Thankfully, it's quiche to the rescue! Beautiful, glorious quiche.
The past couple years, quiche has been my Christmas Day go-to, and this year is no different. I love that all you really have to do is dump a bunch of yummy stuff in a pie shell and bake away. Plus, you can make the mess the day before, bake it most of the way, then finish baking/reheat on Christmas morning. Here are two recipes to try.
#1 Spinach, tomato, basil quiche
This was the quiche du jour last Christmas – it's so yummy! I'm a little crazy about my just-so layering of the tomatoes, spinach, cheese, etc., but you could really just toss the chopped veggies in the pie shell willy nilly and I'm sure it would still taste scrumptious. It's pretty hard to screw up quiche — no stress!
#2 Quiche lorraine
It's bacon and eggs in a pie shell, the French way, and it's what's on the Lawler's Christmas breakfast menu this year. The hardest part about this recipe is cooking up the bacon and — puh-lease! — we all know that cooking bacon is always worth the effort.
Want something even easier? Make mini quiches! Chop up veggies (tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, spinach) and season with salt, pepper, a little olive oil, and any herbs. Plop a spoonful of the veggies in the cups of a muffin pan. Top with shredded cheese. Whisk some eggs with salt, pepper, and milk until smooth, then pour into the veggie-filled muffin cups. Top with more salt, pepper, and cheese. Voila!
