Weekends are the best times to make the most awesome breakfasts! You can sleep in a bit, get up and whip up something special, pop it in the oven, take your sweet pooch for a walk and come back and have a marvelous meal. Nothing like an awesome feast to start the day. Don’t forget to brew a fresh cup of coffee. This Caramelized Onion Ham Broccoli Quiche is absolutely one of our favorite breakfasts. Of course you have to love onions because they are the star here. The caramelized onions do take a little bit of time but feel free to do them the night before and store in the fridge. That way you will have a head start on your Sunday morning treat.
Have you tried any of my other awesome breakfast goodies? I think I have told you once or twice that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Breakfast Bubble Bake, Overnight Cheesy Egg Casserole and Easy Overnight French Toast Casserole are just a few friend and family favorites.
This gorgeous Caramelized Onion Ham Broccoli Quiche combines sweet caramelized onions, honey ham, fresh broccoli, Gouda, Swiss and Parmesan cheeses into a memorable meal.
