I make quiche at least once a week because it is so easy and it tastes amazing. There are so many variations that you can use based on what ingredients you have in your refrigerator. This makes quiche a great way to use up leftovers and odds and ends you may have. It is for us a great meal planning dish because I can make a couple of these quiches at one time and we have breakfast and/or lunch through the week.
This spinach and pancetta is one of my favorite combos of flavor and good for you too with all of that spinach loaded in there. If you are not into making crusts for the quiche or gluten free, you can simply grease your pie dish and pour the custard mixture right in without the crust!
Hope you give it a try!
