*WONDERFUL* Great texture and flavor :) The crust is so easy to make and comes out nice and flaky. For the filling I did add 2 more eggs, other than that made as written. This goes into my breakfast rotation and will be made often. Thanks for posting such a super Quiche recipe. *Made for Spring 2010 PAC*
