I recently had a friend give birth to her 3rd baby boy and I wanted to bring her family some dinner! I decided to go with one of my favorites – a breakfast quiche. I love a quiche because I eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I wrote this freezer friendly meal post a couple months back, I asked for you guys to share some of your favorite meal ideas to bring to new families. A lot of you mentioned breakfast food because us new Mamas always need something easy to grab in the mornings.
So I made this quiche and sent it with an easy salad so that they could enjoy it for dinner and then she could have the leftovers for breakfast that week! I also made some of my favorite energy balls!

Top pie crust with sausage and cheese.

Mix the eggs and half and half in a bowl and pour egg mixture over toppings in the pie crust.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

Remove from oven and allow to sit 5-10 minutes before serving.
