Instructions
- Brown beef with onion in a skillet.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage to the beef mixture. You can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter option. If you prefer a veggie twist, sauté bell peppers or mushrooms to add to the filling. Be sure to check for doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature, and consider pairing it with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It also goes well with a side of roasted vegetables. For a delightful brunch, serve alongside Aunt Marianne'S Green Bean Frittata or fresh fruit for a colorful spread.
