The other day Eric went for a run, then came back and took a shower. When he came from his room, Charlotte said, “Wow Dad, you smell good!”
My brother Nathan was visiting, and to be silly, he said to Charlotte, “What does your nose smell like?” And before she could do anything more than giggle, Truman chimed in with, “It smells like boogers!” It was quite a revelation to all of us. What if our noses really DO smell like boogers? We would never know.
(By the way, I didn’t used to think jokes about boogers were funny. I used to be proper. I also used to not be a mom. Having a 3-year-old boy whose favorite word is “poop” just kind of changes the way you look at the world.)
Do you love quiche as much as I do? I don’t know why I don’t make them more often. There is just something magical about eating pie crust for breakfast. Especially when that flaky crust is filled with eggs, basil, yummy veggies, and GOAT CHEESE.
If you are not a goat cheese fan, make this quiche as written and please let me know when you’ve changed your mind. (Kelly, I’m looking at you. My friend Kelly once told me all the things that she thought goat cheese smelled like, and I haven’t spoken to her since. Just kidding. But seriously Kelly. Jump on the goat cheese train.) I live for this stuff.
I also love the flavor that the leeks add to this quiche, but if leeks aren’t your thing you can totally substitute green onions. Or regular onions. Honestly, quiche is pretty adaptable. Go crazy! I love using Almondmilk in this recipe instead of the typical cream or half and half called for in quiche. I didn’t notice a difference at all, and it’s way fewer calories!
This would be perfect to make next week for Mother’s Day, if you are hosting brunch! If you make this, let me know! Use #TheFoodCharlatan on Instagram so I can see it! Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram | Twitter
