I was crazy sad that these didn't turn out to be 'the best' -- especially after hundreds of 5 star reviews and raves. I followed the recipe exactly and these turned out both dry and cake-like (think Bisquick). And yes, as many reviews have pointed out, they are bland. I couldn't even bear to decorate them and I ultimately threw out most of the batter (which tasted good). Looks like a blue, blue Christmas for me unless I find a new recipe fast. Happy Holidays!

I made this recipe using pancetta and it was absolutely delicious. In fact, it was the only dish that completely disappeared at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. I did add one small onion, sliced thinly, which I sauteed with the pancetta. I also recommend using freshly cracked black pepper. I made the dish a couple of hours ahead of time and then put them in a warm oven for about 20 minutes before we sat down to eat.

We served this during Easter brunch and it was well received. As others have mentioned, there's no need to measure the pesto or goat cheese precisely -- simply use what is necessary to cover the bottom and to suit your taste. Also, be creative when placing the sun-dried tomatoes on top. Presentation, taste, and originality make this a five-star quiche recipe.
