If you read our previous post on Korean-Style Steamed Eggs, you may recall how we came into a dozen beautiful farm-fresh eggs, thanks to a kind friend paying us a Sunday visit to our lake cottage, a week or so back. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than some good ole’ American fried eggs and toast although sometimes it’s fun to mix things up a bit, especially in the kitchen.

Although it seems we may be taking an international tour with these eggs, that wasn’t necessarily our intention. From Korea, our serendipitous egg journey make its next stop into the land of the Eiffel Tower and thus we are pleased to show you how to make mini quiche, Platter Talk style.

When I hear the word quiche, as soon as my mouth stops watering, a few things come to mind.  Eggs, savory flavors, pastry, brunch and of course French cuisine. It is indeed all these things and much more.  Served in the form of an open-face pie, quiche is traditionally a mixture of eggs, cream, cheese, and savory additions.
