Bacon and Onion Marmalade Quiche
Quich are popular all over the world. Even back in chef school at Warwick Chef School, I fell in love with the French cooking. At all my jobs during my chef career I made quiche somewhere - for some occasion. I cannot recall working somewhere and not be making a quiche. You can be so creative with quiche and quiche is a wonderful way to work out ingredients which could soon expire. You can add in smoked chicken, smoked salmon, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, onion marmalade, cooked butternut, biltong shavings, the list goes on and on.
