Smoked Cheddar and Caramelized Onion Quiche
This awesome quiche is for the smoked cheese lover in your life; we used smoked cheddar in our recipe but you can also use a smoked gouda. A store-bought frozen pie crust speeds up the prep work. Serve this for breakfast, lunch or dinner -- we love it any time of day!
