We followed this recipe exactly - and it was excellent. We enjoyed it so much we decided to play with it to see what we would come up with. We substituted chopped ham for the bacon and again, it was excellent. Then we made both variations substituting canned whole green chilis for the pie crust! Added a little kick and was STILL excellent! Thank you so much for sharing!

I've made this quiche for over 15 years and it's always a hit. I do sautee the onions before adding them in. In my old book it says to sautee them in the bacon grease. Bad for you...but YUM!! This is a hit with my hubby & 3 kids. I have to make 2 because they quickly go through 1. Thanks for posting this!

its funny because my mom has this exact recipe but it is printed on the inside of a pie plate, that was apparently made specifically for quiche lorraine to be baked inside of it seeing as how the recipe always going to be there. The only difference is that ours says to use 1/2 cup onion and to use red pepper flakes instead of cayenne.

This quiche is amazing! I didn't add in the onion. I used bacon pieces instead of cooking bacon and I used crescent roll dough instead of pie shell. It was heavenly. Tasted to good I ate almost the whole thing (over several days of course). Making two for work tomorrow. Sooo good! Thanks for sharing.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
