Made this for dinner last night and had it for breakfast too!! It is very good and easy to make. I had a frozen pie crust, made up the bacon and onion as directed, but I didn't have half and half so I just used 2% milk and it came out fine. I did throw in some cheddar and jack that I had in addition to the swiss and also some chopped spinach. It turned out terrific!! I would recommend to anyone.Reply

Wonderful quiche!! I made 1/3 of the recipe and used a recipe from my "Small Batch Baking" cookbook for the pie crust which made one mini pie/quiche to serve two. I served it with some fresh fruit and blueberry muffins, yummy brunch!! Made for your win in the football pool game, congrats again!!Reply
