This rustic, bright and beautiful quiche is perfect for your easter weekend, easy and light and you aren’t slaving away in the kitchen for hours. Great for a family picnic in the garden.
I love making quiche, rolling pastry seems to be a form of therapy for me.
Not only that, but I can add in all my random vegetables left behind in the fridge and boom we have a flavourful dish.
Here I’ve used these beautiful rainbow carrots and made ribbons not just in the quiche but makes for such lovely decoration on top.
