At first I was hesitant about putting too much shallots afraid that it might taste more like raw onions. But I still followed the recipe as is and was glad that I did since the mixture was just fantastic and the cooked onions were good. It tastes like corn quiche, and the outcome looks perfect! Thanks for a wonderful recipe, Sonya!

I made this exactly as per recipe, although I was not sure whether it was shallots (or spring onions) so I used shallots. Great recipe sort of like a creamed corn quiche. It took no time at all to put together, the time was in the baking, but it was well worth the wait! It browned up beautifuly and was just right for serving, great recipe Sonya. Thanks for another great to make again!
