"From Gourmet magazine September 2004. I used store bought pastry instead of making from scratch. The recipe is for the filling only."

This recipe was fantastic. I used gouda since we don't care for swiss and added onions sauted in butter instead of chives. It actually made enough to fill two pie shells. Everybody had seconds. -
I love this recipe! I only used 3 eggs as I only had 6 eggs and I wanted to make two quiches. The first one I followed the crab recipe except I substituted cheddar for the swiss and added crispy bacon. In the second one I used the basic custard recipe but instead of crab I used garlic sausage, sauteed onions and crisply cooked bacon.. The quiche custard was melt in your mouth creamy! Yum! Excellent dish!
