Quiches are quick, easy, versatile and cheap. You can basically use any kind of vegetable and protein combination that you have on hand. They’re also great as leftovers. Adding cheese is always a good idea. In this recipe goat cheese melts in the center and elevates the other flavors and parmesan makes a beautiful crispy topping.
