Scrumptious ASPARAGUS, BACON & SWISS CHEESE QUICHE – How to make CHEESY QUICHE

I experienced eating my first slice of QUICHE while a student at the University of Oklahoma. While studying for exams, a friend called to see if I’d like to get a bite to eat at this restaurant called the RED PARROT. I ordered something I had never had before “QUICHE” and hit the jack pot. I absolutely fell in love with this delicious custard, cheesy, veggie & meaty pie. Who knew I’d ever find the love for QUICHE in good old Norman!! This is one of my favorite QUICHE recipes I’m sharing with you today!! Check on “Show more” below to get this recipe…
