This wonderfully filling quiche style tart will leave you feeling deliciously energized and not overly stuffed. Sargento® Shredded 4 State Cheddar® Cheese brings in a mild level of cheesy flavor that enhances the texture of the fluffy eggs once they’re baked to perfection. This dish is just the thing for an elegant brunch buffet served along with fresh fruit and mimosas.

A friend made this for today's church pot blessing and it was delicious! I'm going to the store this week to get the ingredients to make for me!
This quiche was easy to make and delicious. My husband ate 3/4 of it. A first for any type of quiche. I'll definitely make this again.
