bread-crust quiche
Use quiche filling mixture to transform a dry loaf into a spectacular bread-crust quiche. It can be enjoyed on its own or is ideal as an aperitif snack.
The bread crust will crisp up when it is baked a second time, the perfect foil for the soft quiche filling.

Remarks
This recipe is a great way to use up bread that would otherwise go to waste. There is no need to use a fresh loaf; on the contrary, drier bread is easier to cut.
The proportions for the filling are for guidance, so you may need to adapt them to suit the size of your loaf.
