Literally quiches used to frighten me. I thought they were super intimidating to make and the only time I would eat them is when I went out for breakfast. But one day I felt super experimental in the kitchen and went for it.

Luckily, it was one of those experiments that went extremely right instead of becoming a catastrophic failure (trust me, I’ve had quite a few of these and I hate wasting food).

    I'm the same way! I'd much rather spend my money on things other than expensive restaurant meals I can make at home better and for less money! Your quiche sounds delicious, Lara! I can't wait to try it 🙂 thanks for sharing!

    I think what scares me the most about making quiche is the crust, but with pre-made it's fun to get creative with the filling! Love that you lightened it up with Florida skim!

    I have never attempted to make a quiche but I love how approachable this recipe is. Plus the use of skim milk to lighten the calories is genius. It would be perfect for Easy Entertaining. Paired with a mixed greens salad in champagne vinaigrette and a crisp white wine,my girlfriends will love it for our next brunch. Cheers!

    That LeCruset egg pan you have is the coolest! (Not a word but works here!) Do you cook eggs in it? The recipe looks yummy too! Eggs + peppers are the best combo ever!
