A quiche can be the perfect complete meal. It has eggs, milk or heavy cream, vegetables, ham or some other protein (in this case chorizo). The only side that it needs is perhaps a small salad and maybe a piece of bread. The best thing about quiche is that its preparation doesn’t take too much time. Give this delicious recipe a try and enjoy it with your family or friends.
