A confession...my first thought towards my family was,"to heck with you all. I'm hording the last slice for myself." But that would be mean and greedy and embarrassing to admit to an entire cooking site full of strangers.

Fabulous quiche recipe! I lightened this up by using light sour cream and turkey bacon. I baked (not fried) the turkey bacon at 400 degrees for 18 minutes. I placed the bacon on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Otherwise, I followed the directions as stated.

I've tried many quiche recipes but this is by far the best! I was out of sour cream and substituted with Balkan style yogurt. Since I was using a deep dish pie shell, I increased the quantities slightly and layered broccoli, bacon, and a cheddar & mozarella combo. I kept the stated quantities for the egg mixture and poured over the other ingredients. The quiche cooked perfectly in 40 minutes and set beautifully in another 10. Thanx for posting!
