As a regular staple in daily diets, it’s always exciting to see it used in creative ways you may not have thought of. These culinary innovations often become foodies’ cult faves. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located in “The Bicycling Capital of America,” Franklin Victorian Bed & Breakfast in Sparta, WI is a Southwest inn that offers bed, breakfast, biking and beyond. Their Easy Wild Rice Quiche is so popular – it’s become a signature dish!

- Chef notes: This dish can be prepared the night before and baked the next morning. For the ham or bacon bits, I used the package of recipe-style real bacon bits. I have used ham before too, or you can make without any meat as an enticing option for vegetarians.
