The Best Florentine Quiche
"Quiche Florentine isn’t just good for a quick breakfast before school though. It’s also a fantastic way to feed a crowd. It serves as a delicious brunch recipe as well. If you look at a Classic Quiche Ratio you would see that for each egg used, you should add enough whole milk to make a full ½ cup. To simplify it even more, it’s basically a 1:2 ratio egg: milk. So, for a standard 9-inch pie pan, 3 eggs, and 1 ½ cup liquid is perfect!"
