Wonderful quiche -- I used light cream cheese also and used a bit more mushrooms and a bit less brocolli than called for (adjusting by what we had) for a wonderful meatless meal. Leftovers will be perfect for lunch tomorrow. Thanks Whisper for sharing this keeper recipe.

Great quiche, Whisper! The only change I made was to use fresh broccoli in place of the frozen, and I also used light cream cheese (since that was all I had). The end result was a delicious quiche which we had for dinner. I made a tossed salad and some fresh rolls to go with it. Believe it or not, there isn't much left :( We both really enjoyed it and DH said it's definitely five stars. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe, Whisper. It will certainly be a regular menu item here!
