Who doesn’t love pie for breakfast? This quiche is a classic combination of flavors, but there’s just something special that the addition of mayonnaise does that really makes it fabulous. You can certainly take a lot of creative license with this recipe. Substitute diced ham, or cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, for the bacon. Change the cheese to a sharp cheddar or a nice smoky Gouda. Add in a half cup of diced sweet onion or diced red bell pepper; add some cooked chopped spinach squeezed dry. The variations are infinite. Your breakfast or brunch guests will be thrilled with whatever you present!
