Easy to prepare and a wonderful year-round favorite that’s just as perfect for spring brunches and summer picnics as it is for fall get-togethers and winter dinners when only comfort food will do.
This mouthwatering recipe featuring award-winning Cabot cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses was created by the women’s group at the COTS (Committee on Temporary Shelter) Daystation – the only daytime drop-in shelter for homeless adults in Burlington, VT. The women’s group meets weekly over dinner, where they enjoy a relaxed and fun environment that offers them an opportunity to be socialize, creative, and draw upon their strengths…such as creating amazing new recipes to enjoy. Enjoy their quiche, and feel free to draw upon your own creativity to make it uniquely yours!
