Pumpkin and green onion quiche with cheese topping
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The classic quiche filling is made from cream and eggs. Sometimes cream is replaced with sour cream. And if you use soft processed cheese and gentle Adyghe cheese as a base, the result will be just as good. It can be served with tea or coffee.
