This was delicious! Don't use more than 3 tablespoons of the blue cheese or it will be too overpowering. This dish was fairly easy, and the taste was worth every minute. Thanks L DJ!

My DH was less than thrilled when I told him "quiche for dinner". He ate half of it. Wow was this ever good! The only change I made was garden chives over the onion. Loved the touch of blue cheese! My new "go to" Quiche! Thanks for posting!!

My dh and I have never been big fans of quiches, however this one has to be the best one ever. I didn't have half and half so I used whole milk, and I didn't have blue cheese (which I love) so I just used some cheddar. I alsoused turkey bacon. I can't wait to try it with the blue cheese next time. Thanks for posting this tasty recipe.
