For the month of April, let's celebrate National Brunch Month! Brunch is that meal that isn't eaten at breakfast time, but it's not considered lunch either. It combines dishes from breakfast with heavier dishes from lunch. Many people use brunch as a social occasion and meant to be light and fun. Although there is no set menu, eggs are usually a big part of this meal. Here is an easy quiche recipe to follow. This makes 2 pies and is very affordable. Take this recipe and plan your own brunch this month. Enjoy!
