yummy shake and bake breakfast quiche
As quiches go, the recipe is pretty straightforward; however, this particular quiche is designed to be prepared the evening before and cooked fresh in the morning. The feta cheese gives the dish a new dimension, and the cayenne pepper helps to keep you cozy warm on a cold Winter's day. Actually, all you really need is a good-sized jar capable of holding all the ingredients. So you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE

Step 2Gather all your ingredients.

Step 3Chef’s Note: The jar should be big enough to hold all the ingredients, and leave enough room to allow for shaking. I’m using a glass pickle jar that I ran through the dishwasher.

Step 4Add the eggs, half & half, salt, sugar, and cayenne pepper to the jar.
-
Step 5Whisk the ingredients together, and then reserve.

Step 7Place the bacon on an elevated rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
