This is a review before I’ve tasted it. Why? Because there is no salt in this recipe. I added salt but had no idea how much, and with a recipe with raw eggs I can’t safely taste it. I guessed how much and will update my review after we taste it.

I did tweak it a little - used steak, mushrooms and onion sauteed and used 3 eggs plus 2 egg yolks and only 2 ounces of creamcheese softened with mayo, a squirt of dijon - mix the creamcheese, may and mustard together and brushed in the bottom of the pie also sprinkled some Italian seasoning came out glorious- thank you for sparking my creativity!

AWESOME - huge hit today with my family. I made it: -crustless: used sautéed mushrooms (whole large, sliced, 7) to line the pie plate. -with less cream cheese (used about 3 oz) -instead of grated, i took swiss cheese and sliced finely while very cold -used one package of Oscar Mayer real-bacon pieces - added the mix of 4 eggs whisked with ~ 1 cup of 2% milk, adding provencal herbs (dried) Cooked exactly as directed: 15 at 425, then 30 at 350. It was amazing and made about 4 large slices - perfect for my small family. Thank you to Kelbel for posting this awesome recipe.

This is my new EZ PZ Go-To quiche recipe! So versatile, and great with or without the crust.
