Make your own quiche and a cooking segment on San Diego News 6
This morning I was at San Diego News 6 TV studio to do a cooking demonstration. Since I had only 5 minutes I decided to make mini quiches. As you know three ingredients are necessary for quiches: pie crust, savory custard and fillings of your choice.
You can see my demonstration “on air” click on the link below. I also added the recipe at the end.
