I really liked this. I've had the recipe for a while & finally tried it. I changed just a little of it. First I only made half. I used 4 small pot pie pans which fit the 1/2 recipe perfectly. I added about a teaspoon of honey Dijon mustard. Instead of the halved pecans I topped it with chopped pecans. Otherwise I followed the recipe. I will be making this one again.

This is FANTASTIC. Unique crust and great filling sends it right to the top of my quiche list and it is safely tucked into my cookbook! Made for Photo Tag.
