Made for a dinner party and first time I've made a quiche. Easy to make, true to the ingredients and recipe. I used shredded baked chicken, Sargento Mexican cheese blend, jar salsa and Marie Calendars crusts. Turned out well and well enjoyed by guests. Will make again.

I really enjoyed this dish. I accidentally bought mozzarella instead of monterey jack, so I used 2 cups of cheddar and 1 cup mozzarella. Still tasted great! Also, I guess my deep dish pie crusts weren't very deep because I was able to get 2 quiches out of the filling. No complaints here! Thanks so much! I think I will use this as my new dish when I take meals to new moms!

I used shredded chicken breast & a mild salsa for this ended up with A VERY NICE TASTING QUICHE! I did use a sharp cheddar, & that, along with the monetrey jack, was great! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]
