I love seasonal quiches, and this one is perfect for Mothers Day brunch this weekend!
Unfortunately, I dont get to spend this Mothers Day with my mom---thats what living two thousand miles apart gets you! Ive been having fun imagining what I would serve for brunch if we were closer though, and this quiche is definitely on the list.
Asparagus, leeks and bacon make this quiche stand out from the rest. If youve never cooked with leeks before, youre in for a treat. Just be sure to wash them really well before using---dirt tends to stick in leeks very easily!
For some reason, I feel like quiche has the reputation of being difficult or time consuming to make, but that couldnt be further from the truth! You could very easily make this the night before serving and keep it covered in the fridge until breakfast. Its also a wonderful light dinner when paired with some fresh fruit or a green salad, which is how Im enjoying it since a Mothers Day Brunch isnt happening for me this year. Using a pre-made (but still unbaked) pie crust reduces time and dirty dishes!
I hope you guys enjoy this delicious springtime quiche---its definitely one of my favorites!
