Recipe Notes
- Save time by chopping the broccoli, bacon and leeks the day before will save you time when you prepare the quiche.
- To remove excess grease from your cooked bacon, line the plate with a paper towel. It will soak it right up.
- Keep your edges from burning by checking the quiche at the half way point. If the edges are brown, cover the quiche loosely with aluminum foil tenting the center so that it doesn't lay right on the egg filling.
