Easter Brunch Quiche Lorraine

At our home we love eating Quiche, which is essentially a pie filled with a savory custard mixed with meats and cheese. Today I’ve got a quiche recipe that is perfect for your upcoming Easter brunch.

This easy meal, which my daughter’s call “Egg Pie”, is a family favorite for lunch, brunch, and dinner. We like to serve this Quiche Lorraine for Sunday brunch with our family.

I use a frozen pie shell for this recipe. I like to remove it from the aluminum holder and place in my own glass pie dish. You can also make your own dough. Check out this recipe here.
