"This is one of my adopted recipes. Based on the previous reviews, it doesn't seem to need any major changes. I actually like certain foods a little bland; if you like things spicier, spice it up as you please."

I thought this was extremely good, but DH didn't care for it at all. I've never served him a quiche with chicken in it, but since he has always enjoyed quiches in the past, I expected this to be well received as well. I used a combo cheese blend of cheddar and monterey jack. It looked really nice, but DH thought it was very bland and didn't care for the chicken in what he considers an egg dish. Guess I learned something new tonight. I'll just have to make a smaller quiche next time for myself. Thanks for sharing this recipe Cornelia!

Great quiche Cornelia! I followed your directions exactly, using Havarti cheese and leftover grilled chicken. I pre-baked the pie shell for about 15 minutes, added the quiche ingredients, then baked for 45-50 minutes until the center was done. I served this with a Romaine salad and biscuits. Great dinner! Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Jude
This was a very tasty quiche. It would be helpful if you added how long to put the crust in originally I had to cook longer than the 35 to 40 minutes so the quiche was colored and set properly. Hope you like the picture.

Use a deep dish pie shell!

I liked it but, the 2nd time I added broccoli and cut back by 1/4 milk (I used 1/2 & 1/2) no nutmeg & added cheddar & jack blend of cheese.
