This was very good! Easy to make and I only made one change, I added some mushrooms as I had a little less sausage than was called for. Will make again!!!

This was wonderful. I used the hot italian sausage rather than the sweet. Just the right heat for me. Quick to put together and bake. Leftovers heated up well. Thank you. I will be making this again. Catherine

Wow this is a great dish! Only made a couple of modifications.. When frying the sausage and onions, I added minced garlic and some dried Italian seasoning. Used half cream and half whole milk. And used a deep dish 9 inch pieces shell..took some other suggestions to heart as well. I also had a bit of dry sherry I added for extra flavor..for my 1st quiche, this was easy and delicious!
