This was absolutely fabulous! I made this quiche and one filled with meats, cheeses and all other manner of unhealthy (but yummy) things, and to my great surprise, I much preferred this one! It had such great flavor and texture. I did not miss the crust at all! And the nutmeg adds such a perfect compliment to the custard and veggies. I used roasted red, orange and yellow peppers, red onion, zucchini and mushrooms for the veggies and had to substitute sharp white cheddar for the Gruyere (the joys of living in AK) but it was phenomenal! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe, Jackie! -Kari

A true keeper ! Prepared this as listed today for late lunch, for friends traveling from Savannah to NJ. Easily came together even though baked early and reheated. Next time, would add some additional salt and Dijon, and perhaps some garlic. Served with fruit salad, Parmesan green beans, sliced (home-grown) tomatoes, and mini-croissants. Thanks for posting,Lumberjackie.
