This was so quick and easy! I made it with crumbled bacon, broccoli and shredded cheese and will be eating the leftovers today. Great texture and very versatile. So good!

Made this just minutes ago for Sunday breakfast - YUM! I made it with spinach and cheddar - a little heavy on both. The only change I would make is to add 2-3 more eggs to make them a bit thicker. These would be great to take to work and microwave in the morning. Thanks for a great recipe!!!!

We used black forest ham, mushrooms, onion, and laid halved cherry tomatoes on top before baking. Very tasty dish...even my husband loved it and he doesn't care for quiche. I think 1 Tbls. of butter would be plenty for the pan. Ours was a bit greasy. But still a wonderful and easy recipe!
