Happy Sunday! Now that the holidays are here, I’m always trying to find ways to save time when it comes to entertaining and quiche is a perfect recipe. You can make it ahead of time and freeze the pies, then throughout the holiday pull one out 20 minutes before serving and heat it up in the oven. I especially like this Smoked Bacon & Swiss Cheese Quiche Recipe. Let me know if it doesn’t become one of your favorites this holiday season. Enjoy!
