"I found this quiche to be surprisingly full of flavor even though I used skim milk."

The recipe calls for 1 tsp. Of pepper which is WAY too much. The quiche was good but it burned all of our mouths. Should be 1/4 tsp. Pepper.

Made this yesterday and it was very good. It was quite peppery; I think next time I'll use 1/2 tsp black ground pepper and add 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper sauce for a little zing. I really liked the fact that this recipe did not call for cream or half and half or evaporated milk which I never have around. I was unsure about pre-baking the crust (I used a store brand deep-dish frozen pie shell) but it was a good call; I think the bottom didn't get as soggy as other quiches I've made. Because of the pre-baking I did cover the edges w/ aluminum foil for the first half of cooking. The quiche took longer than 45 minutes to set (more like an hour)... I'm guessing it was because I did not drain and dry the broccoli enough before adding. This has happened to me before when adding veggies to quiches so I've made a mental note to self to not add 'moist' veggies to quiches!
