Hungry Woman’s Quiche
aka: Real Men Eat Quiche Made quiche tonight. I followed the original mostly but added some swiss chard I had on hand (it needed to be used up). I found that I had to cook the quiche about 20 mintues longer than the original specified.. and that even then the potato seemed a bit underdone. I’ve update the recipe below.…
