Great recipe--we didn't even miss the meat. When I brought this quiche out to the table my kids asked if we were having pizza pie for dinner--it looked so yummy and smelled great when it was cooking. We ate every crumb. The only change I may make next time is to use a bigger pie pan instead of using a store-bought frozen pie crust which I used this time.

Just made this and it was lovely. I'm wondering if it can be frozen.

Love this recipe because it's so easy to play with! Tonight I used an Irish Stout Cheddar, Gouda with mustard seeds, buffalo ricotta, and a gorgonzola/walnut cheese spread. I didn't have broccoli so I substituted romanesco. I didn't have mushrooms so I used 4 oz. of diced panchetta. Absolutely devine!

Very good. My daughter loves the flavor. I added ham and swiss chard, used the cheese I had on hand (mild cheddar, mozzarella, and goat cheese.). I cooked the majority in a pie crust (better),the left over mix in a muffin pan(good) the pie crust gives the Quiche a nice taste and crunch.
