    Labneh quiche for brunch

    Brunch originated in England in the late 19th century and became popular in the United States in the 1930s. It is a combination of breakfast and lunch and it is my favourite way of entertaining. No one has to get up at the crack of dawn and if your guests leave early enough, there is still time for a late afternoon nap. If they don't leave, the party can just continue. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

    This quiche is very quick to make and with a good loaf of bread, some cheese and some fruit, you are sorted.
