This quiche is full of wonderful flavor! It is so simple to put together. It would be delicious for breakfast or brunch - company worthy. I made it exactly as stated and it turned out beautifully in 35 minutes. Made for Election Eats 2008 tag game.

I was looking for a quiche without cheese just to help lower the fat content. I found this to fit the bill. I made mine crustless and used coconut oil instead of butter, and coconut milk instead of the dairy suggested. It came out beautifully. When cooking it this way, it feeds 4 nicely.
