I am big fan of the classic quiche lorraine. Another favourite of mine is salmon and watercress. And of course during asparagus season you just can’t beat an asparagus and goats cheese quiche! I love this mexican style version with a little heat from the cayenne pepper and jalapenos. It has a real fresh taste to it. You can eat it warm or cold.
