Ham & Asparagus Quiche | Make Ahead Meals For Busy Moms

A quick & easy make-ahead breakfast!

I love making a nice breakfast on the weekends, but sometimes it can be a little overwhelming preparing everything so it’s all on the table at the same time. Over Easter I made an Asparagus and Ham Strata that turned out delicious! I made this the night before, tossed it in the fridge and then on Easter morning all I had to do was bake it in the oven. What I also love about this recipe is that it can actually be made and then frozen to use at a later time. This recipe uses everyday ingredients that are combined into a simple yet hearty quiche!
