This is one of my most favourite brunch dishes of all time, my Mom’s recipe for Bacon, Mushroom & Spinach Quiche!
I can’t quite remember when my Mom first made this recipe for me but I know that from the first time she made it, I loved quiche.
Savoury brunch dishes like this one are sure to be a hit with family and friends!
Many other brunch dishes get the attention but I think quiche deserves way more! To me it’s the perfect savoury dish; filled with bacon, mushrooms, spinach, cheese, eggs and cream in the perfect vessel, a flaky piecrust.
My favourite way to serve this quiche is with a simple arugula side salad with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice for dressing.

This looks so amazingly good! I love quiche but have never attempted to make one because I thought it would be too difficult for my skill level. I may have to try this, it seems like a great way to spruce up your breakfast/ brunch
