I was very pleasantly surprised with this quiche. Substituting sour cream for milk gives a quiche a different texture. This quiche is COMFORT food! We loved it. We served it with some avocado slices and it was like having brunch at the Hilton Los Cabos. I know because... I stayed there!

This is an awesome dish! I used ground beef and sun-dried tomato/basil tortillas and it came out wonderful. I halved it as there was just three of us and we just about wiped it out. This is easy, fun and different and it's definitely a keeper. Thanks so much Geema, this is already a family favorite!

Wow! This was really good, and incredibly easy to put together. I made one substitution - used diced avocado in place of the olives since none of us are major fans. I also let each of us add their own toppings since my kid won't eat tomato. Definitely will make this again. Thanks!

I halved the recipe and was very skeptical about it. But I have to say I was proven very wrong. This is a GREAT dish!! The flavors all combine nicely, there's no overpowering from any of the ingredients, and we ate it all up! Thanks for a great recipe!

This was really easy and pretty tasty. It just did not have quite enough spice for our tastes (even though I was heavy handed with the spices and used the green chilies) and was slightly on the bland side. Topping the slice with fresh cilantro, and salsa helped greatly and I was unfortunately out of olives which would have been a great addition as well! I also would have liked more of the egg mixture and less of the beef (we used ground turkey) mixture. Having said that, this is such a great, easy casserole dish that uses items I always have on hand. The ingredients compliment each other well. Next time I will add at least 2 more eggs and cut the meat down to about 3/4 of a pound or so, I will definitely double the spices as well. I know that with those few slight changes this will be a regular in our house. Thanks!
