My husband and I really enjoy quiche. They are simple to make because all you really need are eggs, cheese, a variety of vegetables, and some type of salted cured meat if you want. I often make them on the weekends or whenever I'm home from school.
I'm sure this blog has at least 5 recipes for quiche on it but I'm going to add another one! Earlier in this week I got some Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese (if you haven't tried it you need to get some ASAP!) and I knew I wanted to use it in my quiche. So, I made the entire quiche around the Dubliner flavor.
I started with the meat. I chose Chorizo because the spiciness of the meat works well with the creaminess of the Dubliner. Then all I had to do was find some vegetables to go with the Chorizo and cheese. I picked out bell peppers and sweet onions for their sweetness and asparagus for the look.
The quiche was awesome. One of the best I've made to date! The Chorizo lent a spicy flavor, the peppers and onions added sweetness, and the Dubliner cheese was creamy and delicious. All together it made a delicious quiche that looked tasty too. The quiche was the color of eggs with clear asparagus spears throughout the dish and a sprinkling of red paprika on top.
