BLT Quiche

A well-flavored quiche brings new meaning to eggs for breakfast. I’ve put a twist on my BLT lunchtime favorite by using crisp bacon, leafy spinach and flavor-packed sundried tomatoes. The key is to use the sundried tomatoes that come completely dried in a package, rather than soaked in oil. The excess oil will add unwanted grease to the dish and compete with the rich flavor of the bacon. Serve with a green salad and a mini popover for the perfect brunch.
