Merry Quichemas! This was breakfast in bed for the wife. Awesome and simple to make. Great instructions. Used my own pie crust recipe. Also did the onion saute thing suggested by others. Everything came out great. No soggy crust. I like quiches to be more eggy, but the flavors were so perfect together, I won't even tweak this recipe. And the wife loved it as much as I did. Do real men eat quiche? Yes, and they'll bake it for their wife too. Thanks for this recipe.

I make quiche fairly regularly to use up miscellaneous vegetables in my fridge but tried this tonight and my 14 yr daughter said it was the best quiche I have ever made. Stuck fairly close to recipe using 3 eggs and 2/3 cup milk; only had shredded Tex Mex cheese on hand and 1.5 cup chopped spinach but I think this recipe works with almost any minor adjustments. I think the hi-low baking times might help getting the right texture. Thanks - this will be a 'go to' quiche from now on!
