I made this using the Pillsbury pie crust from the refrigerated section (not the unbaked pie shell from freezer section) and it came out perfectly. No soggy crust! The flavors were delicious, although I did wish I had some vegetable to compliment the meat. Next time perhaps I'll add spinach or mushroom. Thanks for posting, Cinnamon!

This quiche has a very delicate flavor and nice consistency. However, I used a Pillsbury ready-crust and should have pre-baked it as suggested--crust was soggy. Easy to prepare.
