You get hints of sweetness from the apples with all the cheesy goodness and a lovely olive oil and thyme pastry crust. Well, I made this delicious quiche (can you see the apple chunks in there?!) and will have to make another one next week because I ate the entire thing. And I made sure to throw in a good amount of cheddar cheese because Grace loves cheesy foods. And I wanted to kick it up a notch, so I made an olive oil, thyme and cheddar pastry crust for the quiche. My sister loves quiche so I made this Apple and Cheddar quiche for her. Not exactly the same as eating it fresh, but hey, it still works. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been freezing some of the things I’ve been making so my parents and sister’s family can try and taste some of the dishes I’ve been making. And for someone who cooks a lot and has a lot of leftovers, this is music to my ears.
