This was good, but I did find it a bit watery and on the bland side, even after having a heavy hand on the cheeses. Despite being watery, it still stayed together nicely and make a Nice healthy lunch!

Thanks for great recipe! I added a couple of dashes of cayenne pepper and stirred in some ham (leftover, that I had frozen after Christmas) with the broccoli/onion mixture. This is a very nice and tasty quiche! I'll make it again.
