This is a very tasty dish. I made a low cholesterol version by substituting egg beaters for the eggs.
Made it on the eve of the storm of 2002..Dec. 4…added a few chooped onions to the egg mixture…WOW!
I live in a nursing home and we had this for a men’s breakfast and everybody loved it and will have it again
Excellent recipe. Never had a quiche before. I added more ham (1 cup) and about a quarter cup of red onions, red and green bell peppers as an extra bonus. Easy recipe to experiment with to create new tastes.
I bring a breakfast casserole to work whenever we have a “buffet day.” I tried this one last month. No one wants my old recipe. They demanded this one! Easy and delicious. My husband calls it a “keeper.”
Excellent quiche, quick and easy. Everyone wants this recipe. I make several variations of this basic recipe.
Need more simplicity in our meals. This is great. Love it
Outstanding! Perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
I made this with cubed potatoes, ham, onion and one packaged frozen spinach. Topped everything with shredded gruyère cheese. Everyone loved it. Made it again the next week, but made it in muffin tins. Cooled after they came out of oven, then bagged them in freezer bags. Now I have an on the go breakfast treat!
Fast,simple and outstanding! What more do you need! A++ all around.
Simple and easy to prepare. Good recipe for adding favorite cheese, maybe some crumbled bacon, asparagus tips, etc.
I made this last Thursday night for dinner! Great hit. Will add a little bell pepper and onion next time! Loved it!
