It’s our second week of our CSA.ย ย  This week we received salad mix, two heads of lettuce, a huge bag of kale, fresh basil, and fresh rosemary.ย  I was happy to see the lettuce and salad mix again this week because we eat a lot of salads in the summer.ย ย  It’s a quick and easy lunch or a dinner that we don’t have to cook.ย  The rosemary and basil are easy to use.ย ย  The basil went into a pasta dish and the rosemary I used on potatoes and in my quiche.

I decided to use the kale in a quiche.ย ย  I enjoy making different flavors of quiche because it’s easy to do.ย ย  Simply choose vegetables, a meat if desired, a cheese, and mix with eggs and herbs.ย ย  I had a package of hot Italian sausage in the refrigerator so I put that and the kale in the quiche.ย ย  I still had some of the rosemary leftover and mixed that in as well.ย  The cheese was harder.ย ย  My first thought was to go with Swiss but then when I was searching I found the Skellig.

Skellig is a sweet cheddar cheese.ย ย  I added it to the quiche to counteract the hot Italian sausage and it worked really well in the quiche.ย  The quiche was so flavorful.ย ย  It was spicy from the Italian sausage, a touch sweet from the cheddar, and had a lot of rosemary flavor.ย  My husband and I both really enjoyed this quiche and I can’t wait to make it again soon!
