Pepperoni Pizza Quiche

This came from a friend of mie. I don't know where she got it but probably from a recipe site. Since my son and his friends are pepperoni fans, I thought I would try it. They loved it and always ask for "that pepperoni thingy." I almost typed in that title...lol. lt is very good though and I am not fond of pepperoni so was surprised that I liked it too. You can add your other favorite pizza toppings on top (onions, peppers, olives ets).
