A little different with a bread crumb crust instead of the usual pie crust. Easy to make.

Thank you! I skipped the nutmeg and used half the butter/flour but otherwise followed the recipe. It was delicious. My husband and I finished the whole quiche in one dinner. I didn't love the bread crumb crust but he did - I guess that's a matter of taste. It's certainly easier than a regular crust. Thank you so much, this is a definite keeper!

This tasted ok but really wasn't very "quiche-y" with only 1 egg and thick white sauce. I added onion, garlic, and red pepper and think it would have been bland without them. I used one small zucchini and one small yellow squash and it wasn't too much.

Great quiche recipe! I added about a 1/2 cup more bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of feta cheese. Wonderful!

Bergy, so many times when I spot a great recipe here, it is yours! I followed yours except I used chopped broccoli. thanks again for another yummy one. Ivy

This was really good. I used freshly grated parmesan instead of romano because that is what I had on hand. I also used a combination of yellow and green squashes. The nutmeg adds so much flavor. Thank you for a keeper.
