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…

The mixture can be made ahead in the crockpot and assembled and baked when you are ready to serve. Set out sour cream, guacamole, and your favorite taco sauce for…
