We get very hungry when we begin to think about quiche. This delicious egg and vegetable dish is usually associated with French cuisine, although its origins are in Germany. Quiche is actually borrowed word from the word “küeche,” meaning “cake.” Both countries agree that quiche is delicious no matter where it’s from!
A quiche normally is baked into a crust, but we’ve discovered that you can make quiche quite easily without crust in a slow cooker. It’s so simple! After a busy day, it’s nice to know that you have a nutritious and delectable dinner waiting for you. Cut yourself a slice and bon appetite!
