Vegetable Puff Pastry Quiche

Vegetable Puff Pastry Quiche

LOADED VEGETABLE PUFF PASTRY QUICHE

We love a good quiche, who doesn’t? We love them even more when we don’t have to make the pastry! Go out and buy that stuff. It’s what it’s there for, gosh. Nobody has time for that, and if you do I call baloney.

I love broccoli and cheese. Even more so I like eggs with it. What better way to merry all of them together than to mix more vegetables and spicy hot sauce in the mix?

We love to garnish this dish with a load of halved cherry or grape tomatoes and sprigs of thyme. Ah, so fresh!

You don’t have to spend hours making that pastry. Use store bought, I do!

This is a really thick quiche. And we wouldn’t have our weekend breakfast brunches any other way!
