Easy quiche recipe will make for a delicious lunch

Are you in the mood for a quiche?

Then why not try Luci Hirsch’s Dot’s quiche recipe.

Luci likes to bake it in a lasagne dish, but it can just as easily be baked in a large quiche pan.

She said she finds this recipe easy to whip up for her family during lockdown for a lazy lunch.

“The recipe is found in Luci’s Mum’s On The Run recipe book and served with a green salad and French bread, and a glass of chilled white wine, it can be turned into a great meal,” said Chantelle du Plessis, public relations officer for Hirsch’s Meadowdale.

The recipe serves four to six people.
