When my sister was visiting from Denver, we hosted an open house from 9 AM till noon…and served a few brunch items and sweets. Maddy refashions vintage jewelry into modern pieces…and we set up a table with her creations. Some friends came and made a bee line for the jewels, others just came to eat and gab, and there were many who both shopped and noshed.
These individual quiches were a huge hit…and you can add whatever meats and veggies you’d like. I made sure a couple didn’t have mushrooms so Bill could have them for breakfast the next day. Perfect for a brunch buffet served on a bed of greens. Scroll down to see what else I served.
