Still not sure on this one. A little too sweet for my liking even with the following changes: 1/4 C. butter, shredded carrots, chopped cashews, 2 Oz. honey, 1 C. heavy cream & 1/2 C. milk. It was good; it's just that I prefer a more savory flavored quiche.

I was intrigued by this flavor combination. Basically, I like it a lot, but it was just too heavy the first time I made it. So I reduced the amount of butter rather drastically to a mere tablespoon -- just enough to saute the carrots and nuts without sticking. I also reduced the honey to just 2 tablespoons and replaced the cream with half-and-half. I took the advice of other reviewers and chopped both the carrots and nuts in a food processor, but I don't think I'll do that again. Just as the flavors in a stew are more distinct when the veggies are in larger chunks, so the nuts need to be more distinct and less all-pervasive. But I'll definitely look forward to making it again in the future, probably when I'm serving savory quiches at the same meal for variety.

This recipe is a hit, even with the non-quiche eaters. I'm delighted to call it a dessert quiche.

Fantastic recipe but I decreased butter to 1 tablespoon; crushed the cashews; decreased honey to 1/4 cup and changed heavy cream to milk and only used 1 cup.

I agree with the other reviewers that there is too much honey - I only added 2Tbl and it was still too sweet. Otherwise, both my 2-year old and I ate it up! Yum!

Really enjoyed this - always looking for something different - Got rid of the honey and used fat free half and half. Chopped the carrots and cashews in food processor. Will make it again

I agree with the comment that this tastes almost too heavy to be a quiche, next time I will cut down on the butter, honey & cream a bit to see if that helps. It was nice to try this recipe and even my meat & potatoes hubby enjoyed!

I made two versions of this quiche recently - one as published, and one with tweaking. After reading the reviews, I wanted to try a version that was a little more savory, so I cut the honey in half, and added a teaspoon of curry powder. Unfortunatley, neither of the versions turned out to be very tasty. I think the base recipe (without my tweaking) was the better quiche. If I were to make it again I would probably add a little more salt.

After reading the other reviews here, I was thinking that maybe these flavors were going to be too weird for us in a quiche, but we totally loved this. It got even better the next day as well. Other than lightly chopping up the carrots and cashews in a food processor, I didn't change a thing. I served this with the avocado quick bread also on this website. A great brunch or light lunch dish and we thought delicious either hot or cold. Thanks for the recipe!

I'd like to rate this higher, but the flavor, while good, was not stellar. As my daughter and I ate it, we were thinking, it wants to be sweeter or it wants more egg and something like onion and/or garlic flavor. With the nutmeg and honey, it wanted to be dessert, but because of the egg, carrots, cashews, and cheddar, it wanted to be something else.

After reading the reviews, I made a few changes to the recipe. I shredded the carrots in the food processor, and used another attatchment to break up the cashews into smaller pieces. With the previous comments on the carrots and nuts settling to the bottom, I think that might solve part of the issue. Mine was loaded from top to bottom. I skipped the honey completely and added more egg (I never measure my quiche mix. It's just habit). I tossed the carrots and nuts with the cheese before filling with the egg mixture. Since I had enough to fill 2-3 shells, I added spinach to one shell. Fantastic. great idea on flavors--the technique just needed a litle tweaking.

This was very different!! I'm still not sure about the flavors. If i do make this again i would cut the honey in half and probably chopped my nuts a little finer. Its a unique different option for Quiche so i gave it 4 stars for creativity!

This is a very unique and tasty recipe. It was all the rage at a potluck brunch I attended. I altered the recipe by adding one more egg to give it a bit of bulk and reducing the honey to about 1/3 C. The one problem with the recipe is that I found that the cheese and carrot mixture stayed at the bottom while the egg rose to the top--it didn't all mix together the way quiche usually does, and I'm not quite sure why this happened. This made the quiche hard to eat because the carrots and cashews kept tumbling around the plate.

This dish has a lot of potential. I think it's way too heavy on the heavy cream, which tends to overwhelm the eggs and makes you forget that it's a quiche. Also, the next time I make it, I'll cut way back on the honey.
