ASPARAGUS, BACON, SWISS CHEESE QUICHE 😋 So YUMMY 😍 #food #baking #homemade #recipe #tutorial

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 spot. 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! ENJOY! 🙂
