Yummy! We made this last night so that it was waiting on us for breakfast this morning.. used an italian blend of cheese instead of swiss, and since I bought the smaller size pie shells, I ended up having enough for 2 quiches!! This is great, as now I have another one in the freezer to pull out for another lazy Sunday morning! Thanks for posting..

This was really good. Though I had to use a cheddar/Monterrey jack blend of cheese because I didn't have the Swiss I thought I did, and I did not prebake the crust (just cooked it an additional 10 minutes or so). Will make again :)
