Cauliflower and Bacon Quiche with Parmesan and Gruyère
A cheesy combo that's sure to win you over. Some people may scoff at the idea of breakfast for dinner, but I am definitely not one of them. Especially when it's a savoury breakfast dish. For example, this cheesy Bacon and Cauliflower Quiche. It's just as at home on the dinner table as it is at a nice brunch or reheated for a quick weekday breakfast. Once you taste this quiche, I'm sure you'll agree that there's really no wrong time for a dish this tasty.
