It sounded so good when I heard ‘cream cheese quiche’ and this was the first recipe that popped up. I made it today *yum* I didn’t have pimento but popped in some chopped marinated olives instead. I also put a little maasdam cheese on top (the more cheese the merrier, right?). I think it would be amazing with smoked salmon, that’s what I’ll do next time :)
