Today's daily dish is bacon,leek,onion and mushroom quiche. The best thing about preparing quiche is that you can fill with meat, fish and veg. The pastry can be spiced up with chilli flakes with a pinch in the egg mixture also. Quiche can be served hot or cold and with salads of your choice(see photograph for salad ideas)
Quiche can be made in advance cooled down wrapped in cling film and frozen to used at a later date.
