Corned Beef & Sauerkraut Quiche

- 8-10 depending on your slices
This is a post St. Patrick’s Day quiche I like making with leftover corned beef; inspired after brainstorming with my husband for something besides sandwiches or hash. I have also made this with deli pastrami or corned beef other times of the year. Serve with a dollop of horseradish cream sauce = a mixture of sour cream and fresh grated horseradish. Note: this was NOT a Ricotta entry as is shown in the contest entries - my mistake, oops!
