This quiche is delicious HOWEVER serious alterations need to be made to this recipe. For starters, you will only use about 1/2 amount of the "filling" ingredients. And 6 eggs not 8 are probably sufficient. I ended up having lots of leftover filling and egg mixture when I followed this recipe exactly as written. But it was tasty once I figured out the correct proportions. A little tip too is there's no such thing as too much cheese with this recipe. I stuffed my pie tin with the cheese mixture and it turned out delicious!
