Simple Quiche

We ate quiche all the time growing up for dinner, so it never occurred to me that this was odd. And really, it's not, it's just something people typically associate with breakfast. This quiche, however, has dinner all over it. Chunks of tomatoes, spinach, and cheese. Sausage or olives if you have it on hand. I love quiche -- it's like the catch-all leftover type meal. It's also a great planned meal. Serve it with a veggie and rice or potatoes and you're set to go!
