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.)
