I made two of these quiches for New Year’s Eve, one with crust and one without for my gluten free friends. You can also play with some different variations such as incorporating different seasonal vegetables, caramelizing the onions, swapping cheeses, or even topping it with a touch of hot sauce for some extra kick. I also like to crisp the prosciutto ahead of time so it’s extra crunchy.

Bon appétit!
