These are super-nomsome. Several will happily disappear into each person present in their vicinity. I took them to my weekly foodie potluck, and they were vacuumed up within minutes of my arrival. I used veggie bacon (Morningstar) because I'm too lazy to fuss with real bacon.

Okay, and easy, but didn't get raves.

These are fabulous. I left out the bacon and doubled the onion. We really enjoyed the flavor of the quiche and the crust was perfect.

Quick and easy and good! I used a refrigerated pie crust. I also made these ahead of time and just reheated them for the party. Thanks! Will definitely use this recipe again.
