New Year's Day Goat Cheese Quiche
Hurray, it’s 2016! The New Year always brings a refreshed sense of hope, new beginnings and goals for the year ahead. Personally, I am so excited to continue to cook with wonderful nonnas and bring good, family recipes to you from different countries all over this world.
Hopefully, you celebrated with a bang last night and today you are resting, spending time with your loved ones and making some good food to start the year off right.
This quiche is perfect for those of us that just want to roll out of bed after staying up late, heat up something delicious and curl up on the couch with a hot cup of coffee. You can make this quiche days in advance, and simply heat it up in the oven at a moments notice. Now that’s what I call a Happy New Year!
