Aaron's Quiche

Source: Adapted from my brother-in-law, Aaron
Reflection: My brother-in-law Aaron introduced this recipe to our family about two years ago, and we have enjoyed it MANY times since! This makes for the perfect brunch meal - and in fact, this was the first meal I made in an attempt to impress my future in-laws! It was such a hit that we made it again when my parents came up to visit us in Alaska - we love this dish!
