Ask a question about this stepHow serendipitous that you have it all on-hand! Let me know how you like it or if you add anything more to it.
What a great way to make something so indulgent that can still feel rich, french, and OK to eat often!!! Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words Ellen!
Looks so good! Do you use the apple-chicken type sausage or some other kind? What brand do you like? Thank you!
I did use an apple-chicken sausage; it was organic. The brand of the sausage escapes me at the moment though. What brand do you usually use?
Thanks for stopping by!
Aidell's apple-chicken is easy to find and very good. I love quiche and this combo of ingredients looks very tasty.
