Preparing the Quiche
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two 9-inch deep dish pie shells with parchment paper or aluminum foil and then set aside.

Bake the quiche in the 375-degree oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges of the quiche are golden brown. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serving the Quiche
When ready to serve, remove the quiche from the pie dish, slice it into 8 individual slices, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm, and enjoy!
