I am traditionally not a big egg fan. When I was traveling in Macau years ago, I found that I really liked the mini quiches that were available at the Starbucks in the Wynn Macau. I had probably never eaten an egg until then let alone a quiche.
I tend to cook on the weekend for the entire week. A quiche is a simple breakfast item that I can make ahead and then reheat a serving for breakfast in the convection oven. This recipe takes a long time to bake and it makes up 8 servings.
