Yummy! Beautiful quiche with a wonderful flavor, BUT the vegetables and custard were enough for four pies. I will make this again but I will use half of the veg and use only 1 cup of half and half. I'm estimating that this will make 1 9-inch deep-dish quiche.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
