Portench Quiche

Jump to Recipe

My parents where born in Portugal and my brothers, sister and myself where born in France so the culinary experience has a little mix of the two.

Portuguese people love sausage of every kind and French people can make a quiche out of a spice and make it taste like a 5 star meal.

So together, I combine both tastes of my culture with the Portench Quiche.

Portench Quiche

My father the bread maker, loved to chop up sausage and roll it into the bread and make a sausage bread. It was out of this world. I remember coming home and smelling it in the oven waiting for it to come out while it was nice and warm. And of course my mother screaming in the background that it was not ready yet!

Portench Quiche

As the holiday seasons begin, I miss my father more and him joking around at the dinner table. He had the best sense of humor and never made a fuse on the small things. Something that I have began to realize that it was one of his biggest strengths. It allowed him to keep moving forward with determination without allowing the tiny matters to stop him from enjoying life every day.

Portench Quiche

This recipe is something that I came up with to blend my heritage together and thank my parents for giving me so much love for food and life. If you like Portuguese and French food than try this incredible French and Portuguese dish. EnJoy!
