Quiche is a hearty breakfast or brunch option to get the day going, is packed with protein and is one of the easiest items to prepare. While early forms of quiche originated in Germany and were made popular in France with traditional variants such as Quiche Lorraine, the quiche is nothing more than whatever meats, cheeses and veggies you want to throw into custard and bake in a pastry shell. Once the ingredients are in the pan, you basically set it and forget it and let the grill do the work.
The smoky flavors of a grill are absorbed beautifully into this Cast Iron Quiche with Grilled Ham Steak, Mushrooms, Onions and Zucchini, making this a real treat to prepare. Put on the coffee and let’s dig in!
