Recipe: Spinach, Bacon, Mushroom Quiche using Handsome Brook Farm Eggs
Fun fact about me: One of the first things that I learned how to make was quiche. What I love about quiche is the base concept, which is quite simple: eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Then, whip it up, pour mixture into a pie crust, and you’re good to go. What makes a good quiche stand out are the freshness of eggs and the crust. There are several variations to quiche.
On this particular day, I decided to make a quiche using Handsome Brook Farm Eggs, spinach, ham, mushroom, bacon, and cheese. I chose Handsome Brook Farm Eggs because they are USDA certified organic and pasture-raised. When I am cooking for my family, I want to make sure that I use the freshest ingredients. This brand’s eggs have no pesticides, no hormones, no GMOs, and no antibiotics. A Handsome Brook Farm egg has the most beautifully colored yolks of a rich golden’y-orange color.
