Southern Fellow Sunday Quiche

Southern Sunday Quiche



This recipe for Southern Sunday Quiche is inspired by country music artist Kirstie Kraus. We definitely share her love for this classic dish. Quiche is very French in name and place of origin, but today it has found it’s way to the southern table. It is hearty, adaptable, and just plain good. With egg, cheese, and pie crust, It’s no surprise how it has become so popular as a breakfast entree. We kept it simple, but you can pretty much add any ingredients you want to make this recipe fit your family’s needs. Anything done from the heart is going to be good. Give this recipe for Southern Sunday Quiche a try today!

Speaking of the heart, Kirstie Kraus has a big one and uses to make some really great music. Read our full interview to learn more about her music and life. You can check it out by clicking here.

    It sounds amazing! I’m just wondering if “1/2 and 1/2” is the liquid creamer we use for coffee???

    1. Patrick L.

      You can use it, but the eggs will not be as fluffy. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

      Half and half is half cream half milk and many people use it in their coffee. I always use cream in my quiche

    I’ve made several quiches over the years that are very similar to this recipe, except I add a cup of sm. shrimp. Always a fav.
