    MexiCali Quiche

    MexiCali Quiche.  Living in Southern California, there are certain things that just become part of your life.  Good weather, lots of people, so much excellent food and avocados.  I had never even heard of avocados before moving to California, but once you meet an avocado, it becomes a staple, and you will add it to everything that you can.  In this case, I took all things California and created a quiche that I feel reflects our cuisine.   This dish is vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free.

    For this dish, I used a Lodge 10 ¼ inch cast iron skillet.  One of the best things about using a cast iron pan, is that it is one pan cooking.  I just toss everything in the pan, bake it, and breakfast is ready for the hungry crowd.  (Actually, I think we can all agree that breakfast is good any time of the day or night.)  This quiche also makes great left-overs, or you can freeze it for your meal planning.  I definitely think that this dish will become one of your go to favorites!   (Get your own Lodge skillet here.)
