Bacon & Cheddar Quiche Recipe

I was getting together with my girlfriends for breakfast to celebrate my birthday and I offered to bring quiche. It is one of the easiest dishes to prepare and you can add just about anything you like to it. When I bake I love using Land o Lakes butter. I don’t want any imitation butter in my baked goods so I’ve relied on Land o Lakes for years. You can imagine how was excited I was when Land o Lakes asked me to try their eggs.

Land o Lakes eggs are produced by hens fed a premium, all vegetable, whole-grain diet, rich in corn and soy protein – with no animal fat or animal by-products. I’m a firm believer that what the chicken eats is a direct result of egg flavor.

Land o Lakes eggs did not disappoint. They are a beautiful color when cracked open and had great flavor. I used them in my quiche recipe and it was a huge success. I’d like to think its my mad cooking skills that made the quiche so tasty, but I have a feeling it was using Land o Lakes eggs. If you can’t have farm fresh eggs I would recommend Land o Lakes eggs.

Some of the required items for the quiche recipe. You’ll also need cream & milk.
