I wanted to make quiche but didn't have enough milk or cream. We had lots of freshly homemade plain yogurt, though! I made 2 pie crusts (with 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour) and made this quiche with sausage instead of bacon and jack cheese instead of swiss, since that's what I had on hand. I also omitted the onions since they give my husband indigestion. Making 2 of these could have used a bit more filling, but they came out very nice--the texture was smooth and the flavor was yummy. I will definitely be using this as my basic quiche go-to recipe in the future since it is so simple and I always have plain yogurt in the fridge and eggs from my chickens.

This was delicious. It is a light and fluffy quiche. Very flavorful. I followed the directions exactly, using swiss gruyere chese. It was an eash satisfying meal. I only gave it 4 stars because I think the directions need some clarification. The directions do not mention when to add the swiss cheese. I put the cheese in on top of the bacon and onions, before adding the egg/yogurt mixture. It came out beautiful, but had just a little too much filling for a 9-inch deep dish crust. Next time I think I will divide it into two pans. And I may add mushrooms and spinach.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi,
I'm a California native, traveled the world with my soldier hubby, then settled here in Kentucky,the land of racing horses and Burboun whiskey.
I live alone now but my 2 DDs and 7 grandkids like just a few doors down so I always have a houseful
I love to cook. It's really ALL about the food, isn't it? These days I look for recipes that are easy to prepare and easily made in smaller amounts, although I often will make a full recipe and freeze it in portions for days when I can't cook. Both DDs are my cooking buddies. Two or three times a week they come over and help with the prep and cooking, trying out the new recipes I've found here on Zaar. They also help with the eating, as do the SILs and grandkids.
How I rate recipes:
5 Stars ~ Fabulous and I loved it just the way it is ~ Perfect.
4 Stars ~ Needs a tune up, a tweak here and there. A keeper.
3 Stars ~ A good idea that is not quite working. Repairs needed May or may not be a keeper.
2 Stars ~ This recipe would need a major overhaul to suit me. Probably will not make again.
1 Star ~ Just not my cup of tea ~ will not make again.
