One of my favorite dishes ever. I add 2 medium zucchini's and use 4 eggs instead of 3. Occasionally I reduce the milk just a tiny bit as well. <br/>Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing! -
Reviewed for PAC Fall 2007 This was a great spring-board recipe...I would add some cooked bacon or ham next time around. -
an 'ok' basic quiche on the surface...However, when the liquid portion is divided amongst two pies, it looks under-filled...upon baking it still looks markedly under-filled...most quiches I've made use about the same amount of eggs and milk as this one but for a ONE pie recipe NOT two...for two pies I'd be inclined to increase the egg content to 4 eggs... -
This was easy to make, and delicious! I halved the recipe first to try it out once, and used 2 eggs for the one quiche. Then, I used the recipe as is, to make 2 for a potluck. Both times, the quiche came out great. My husband preferred the first one made with the two eggs. Either way, great recipe! Thanks.

I brought this to a potluck and it was the first thing gone! I used sweet onions - cooked slowly, and they realy gave it a good flavor. Went together very quickly.
