Bergy, thank you so much! I was looking for one that did not use too much flour or Bisquick (no offense to the Bisquick company!) I wondered if the bread crumbs would stick as they should...worked out perfectly. The romano cheese worked very well, as did the touch of nutmeg. I may add a bit of stronger cheese next time, but that may mess it up, as it was wonderful the way it was. Thank you so much...I had a semi-healthy lunch for three days (It does re-heat very well)

Great quiche recipe! I added about a 1/2 cup more bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of feta cheese. Wonderful!

This is an easy & delicious recipe to use the overstock of zucchini from my garden. The changes I made when sauteeing zucchini filling were to add chopped red bell pepper, chopped onions, fresh garlic & fresh basil. I also added about a 1/4 C of crumbled bleu cheese to the sauce. This was WONDERFUL!! DH already "suggested" I make it for a weekend picnic. Thanks 4 a great recipe, Bergy!

This was a wonderful dish and so easy to make, I used cheddar cheese and left out the nutmeg and it turned out great! It reminded me a lot of the cheesy broccoli bake, I will definitely be making this one again, it really was very easy!
