Easter Quiche

Easter breakfast is a delightful meal, especially when served at home.   Our favorite is to serve a savory quiche with muffins, fresh fruit and, of course, hot coffee.  Over the years the quiche recipes have varied but the basics remain the same.

I used to make muffins from scratch until I discovered a box mix, the Krusteaz brand.  It is as moist and flavorful as anything I could ever make.  Krusteaz comes in many flavors.  We prefer Wild Blueberry, but others – Lemon Poppyseed, Chocolate Chip, and  Cranberry Orange – are just as good.  If you click on the Krusteaz name (here), then click on your favorite flavor, you’ll find recipe variations.  Adding fresh blueberries to the Lemon Poppyseed mix creates an especially moist muffin.

Fresh fruit is always a delight for Easter breakfast, or any breakfast.  Whether cut up into a fruit salad, or sliced, or eaten whole, the flavor of yellow bananas, whole strawberries, or chunks of melon is a sure winner.

Quiche became popular in the United States in the early 1970’s but history dates it back to Medieval times, to the Alsace-Lorraine region in France and Germany.  It is a hearty meal that can be served as an appetizer, for breakfast, or brunch.  It is made from eggs, milk, and cheese baked into a pie crust.  Savories such as diced onions and pieces of bacon or bacon are added, along with vegetables such as broccoli or spinach.   Through the years I’ve found that as long as you have the basic mixture of eggs and dairy, other ingredients can be changed at will.  Click for an assortment of Quiche recipes from Allrecipe.com.
