Submitted by Smurfetta Chef #427781

"One of the richest, best tasting quiches around. Use Camembert if you would prefer."

I made this a while back and absolutely loved it and marked the recipe "Excellent" (top of my own rating system) but forgot to write a review (my bad, lol). I didn't have a tart pan at that time so I just used a store-bought crust (Marie Callendar's frozen pie shells) and used that and it still came out wonderful. When I find brie on sale again, I want to try this with crab and asparagus in it. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
