The Holidays are upon us—and if you’re hosting overnight guests, there’s more than just dinner to consider. I LOVE this Canadian Bacon Quiche for breakfast or lunch. It’s full of sautéed shallots, savory canadian bacon, and not one, but two delicious cheeses. I’ve finally found the right combination of all these ingredients after numerous tries at quiche making. I bought my pie crust at Trader Joes (my favorite store bought) and made this ahead. Your guests can reheat for a simple yet satisfying meal.
