"Even using whole milk and full fat ingredients, this is fairly low cal, but if fat-free or low fat alternatives this would be a great low cal/low fat brunch or lunch dish. Recipe source: local newspaper"

Awesome recipe! Not only does it come out of the oven looking fab, it tastes just as great too! Impress your hubby or friends with this easy quiche.

Delicious! I used whole milk, a bit of plain yogurt and some heavy cream to make the liquid requirements. I used a small onion in place of the green onions. It turned out wonderfully! Next time, I will cover the crust with foil on the second round of baking so that it doesn't get so dark.

My Dh and I really liked this. I used evaporated milk instead of half and half and a small vidalia onion instead of the green onions. It baked up beautifully brown and colorful. I used big garlic cloves so I could taste the garlic and the house smelled great. We served it with a green salad.
