"I made coconut flavored quiche adding fresh corn to enhance more sweet flavor and wrapped with bacon so that it has sweet salty taste which enhances your appetite. To make it tastier and more fun to eat, I made popcorn shrimp adding more coconut and top with spicy cocktail sauce."

EXCELLENT! Subbed frozen corn, but that was the only change. My hubby said it was not only the best quiche he's ever had, but one of the top things I've made (and I cook a lot!). Nice job on this recipe. :)
