I had trouble with this recipe, the egg/cheese mixture did not seem to rise enough, it took twice as long to bake and I ended up with dry, crispy broccoli and very little filling!

I would also give this one more than five stars if I could. It's enough that it tastes great and is elegant, as well as super-easy to prepare. But here's a quiche recipe that doesn't require cream!!! (Which every other quiche recipe I've come across, unfortunately, seems to call for.) Thank you, thank you for this healthier and flavorful alternative!

Good. I did not cook (or thaw) my crust first. Not smart. I should have thawed it at least and next time will probably even cook it for 10 minutes before filling with quiche. Also a little creamier than we like. I used 6 eggs and 1 cup of cream. Next time I will use a little less cream, especially if using wet vegetables like tomatoes. Overall, pretty good though.

i too added 1 1/2 cups of fat free half and half. I ALSO used 2- 8"pie shells not the deep dish shells (only because I bought the wrong ones! LOL) I divided the mixed ingredients in half and filled both pie shells. I upped the temp to 375 and placed both shells on a cookie sheet. I baked them for 55 minutes (I kept checking them after 40 minutes but not browned on top until 55 minutes.) It was creamy and delicious! AND, I got TWO! Enjoy!

This was too heavy and does not have the flavor of a true quiche. Better to use fresh broccolli<br/>as the frozen is too wattery for a real set up.<br/>I always use Eggbeaters bypassing all the cholesterol. May add one real egg or two for deeper flavor.<br/>Good luck.
