Loved every single bite, down the crustless crumb! I love mushrooms, and I love the diced onion in it too. I did use whole eggs, because, at the price of eggs, we just used the whole protein, and all of it was wonderful! I sprayed the top with green onion, and a bit of large coarse sea salt. This worked perfectly for a snowy weekend, when we worked so hard, but didn't have a lot of time to cook. Served with slice tomatoes and cucumbers.

Excellent recipe! Threw it together and into the oven in 15 minutes, then took the dog for a walk while it baked (how convenient!). I added a box of thawed, drained spinach, and next time I'll decrease the milk by half a cup since my finished product turned out a little soggy. But overall, a great recipe!

We loved this recipe. I made up for missing milk with sour cream, doubled the spinach, and used about a cup of Parmesan. Traded Bruno g bSwush hot sauce for Italian seasoning. Delicious!!

Honestly, by far the best quiche ever. I did substitute a harvest/ herbs de provence blend instead of italian spices and about 1/3 of my spinach was fresh. So so yummy!!

This was awesome! I didn't have any spinach so chopped up broccoli and it turned out great. I didn't miss the yolk or heavy cheese other quiches normally have at all. Yum!
