SUBMITTED BY: Christena Palmer

Great receipe! I did some adjusting. I used 1 cup of half and half and 1 cup of 1% milk, 1 cup of 2% cheddar and 1 cup of mozzerella, and no onion. I also sprinkled a little extra cheddar cheese on top before I put it into the oven. There! Perfect! 1 pie for the family and 1 for the couple two doors down (she had knee surgery last Thursday!) Easy, quick, great comfort food! Thank you for the receipe!!!

I love this recipe and they really freeze well. I recently changed it around a little to make it a little healthier. I used egg beaters that are ham and cheese flavored in place of the eggs and I used skim milk in place of the half and half, was very tasty.

My husband requested quiche for dinner, so I went in search of a recipe. I found this one, and it's a keeper! I added more onion, basil, garlic powder and crushed red pepper. I baked in a quiche dish, and used Crisco's double crust recipe. Thanks for sharing! I made this again, and changed it up a bit. I added sauteed green & red bell pepper, along with onion and garlic. I also added fresh roasted green chiles. This was over the top. My kids even loved it...and that's saying alot! I'm looking forward to making this again.
