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!

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
