I love having breakfast for dinner and quiche is one of my go to recipes for it. Quiche is highly customizable to your family’s likes and dislikes and is perfect for using up leftover cheeses, meats, and vegetables.
You’ll notice that the spinach and cheese have variable amounts so you can adjust those according to your family’s tastes. We love spinach so I use the full 16 ounces.
