nice change from the usual crust for chique; nice and crisp. I had a little broccoli I had to use up so i threw it in too and had to use cheddar, it was the only cheese i had and I use 2% milk instead of cream. It all turned out great, thanks for posting, it was a great guideline! I will try it with the proper ingredients next time.

I'm rating this 4 stars because I did really love the idea of a simple potato crust... easy and tasty. However I really think the measurements are off on this recipe. I ended up having to nearly double the cream / egg mixture when poured over the cheese. I used half and half instead of cream, just to lighten it up a bit. It baked for about 35 minutes when the knife finally came out sorta clean. My husband and I enjoyed the flavors... we used chopped up deli ham and mild cheddar cheese... but we both agreed there was WAAAY too much cheese. Maybe because I used "finely" shredded cheese, 2 cups made the whole quiche mostly cheese. My husband actually said "This is like eating fondue". So next time I will probably half the cheese and double the egg mixture. Thanks for posting though... I'll be sure to make again. Love the crust!

I used turkey ham, and next time I'll probably add a little more than a cup to make it meatier. Really good!

Easy and delicious! We just had this as "breakfast for dinner." I made it as directed, except I misread the cheese, and bought plain monterey jack cheese. I did add a few chopped green onions. Next time, I'll add some mushrooms.

I make this for a friend who cannot eat gluten. I use whatever I have on hand, leftover broccoli, chicken, green chilies My kids love it.
