Total Winner! I used Roma tomatoes and fresh basil & thyme, but other than that, made as directed. Not long ago we started using a lot of turkey bacon & I really love how lean it is, especially for the quiche. The flavor of this is fabulous. Everything works really well together but I think the caramelized onions are the star of the show. They really made this quiche stand out from others we've had in the past. Just as an FYI, this took about 65 minutes in my top oven to cook through. Thanks so much for posting this one, zaarnut. We'll be making it again & again! :) Made & enjoyed for Photo Forum's 2010 Undercover: Pies & Tarts event.
