I only made a half batch for 1 pie shell, it was good, made exactly as written with maybe a little extra cheese. I thought it was a bit dry and not quite as fluffy as I expected. Next time I will hadd a bit of cream, milk or half 'n half.

My family loved this quiche! I adjusted the measurements and only made one quiche. Should have made two so we'd have leftovers or another to freeze! The adjustments I made: I used lots of fresh spinach (added some water to pan so it would wilt better), half a red bell pepper, three cloves of garlic and added 1/4 milk to the egg. I sautéed all the veggies and mixed the egg, spices in a separate bowl. Then added the cheese to the eggs, then the warm veggie mixture. Mixed all of it up and added it the pie pan (I used the Pillsbury pie mix. Baked it for 40 min and let it cool a little before serving. This recipe is a great base and plan on trying other vegetable combinations with it (broccoli, tomato) and other cheese.

This was just O.K. to me, but my twin toddlers are eating it really well, so I'm giving 4 stars. I also give it 4 stars for keeping well in the fridge for 4 days for quick homemade re-heat breakfasts. I didn't like the nutmeg in there, it brings out the carrots too much.

I've mad this 3 times already! It's become a part of my standard repertoire. I love that it's cheesy & good without having fatty cream or butter. It needs the eggs for protein & to hold it together. My kids love it! I also brought it to a potluck lunch at work and everybody raved about it. Thanks!!!

I was looking for a good base quiche recipe so I made a few changes to it. I gave it 5 stars because it is not fair to rate it poorly if it was due to my own changes. I used fresh spinach and added broccoli, diced ham and about 1/4 cup milk. Even with the additions, I felt it was not quite enough for to 9" pans. It turned out very slim and probably could have made one hefty quiche. I baked the crust for about 5mins before adding the insides, as this allowed it to cook fully in 30mins. The flavor was amazing! I will make again with either more ingredients or just one crust.

I love this recipe... but with a minor change. I make it for one pie and use 4 eggs, maybe a little less spinach and more carrot. My daughter who would never touch a spinach leaf let alone eat one, enjoys this dish.

This was a keeper. I wanted a base recipe which I could use to alter to the items I had on hand. Instead of spinach, I used fresh mushroom, fresh chives, one small tomato, garlic powder, onion, and carrots. I halved the recipe, but used 5 eggs instead of three and it turned out fantastic. I also used a mix of pepper jack cheese with sharp cheddar and the flavor knocked our sock off. It was the only time my husband did NOT add extra spices to his meal. It felt like victory!! Thanks for this great recipe. A tip for those whose crust isn't turning out- I baked my dough for about 5 minutes to set it before adding the rest. It turned out perfect.

Made this last night and LOVED IT! I admit to changing the recipe slightly by adding about 2/3 c. of skim milk. Without it, the mixture just didn't seem "quichey" to me. Had it not been for that, I'd have given it 5 stars. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly. We'll be eating this on a regular basis. YUM!

This was my first-ever attempt at a quiche and I was pleasantly surprised! I halfed the recipe since it is just me and followed it minus the onion (hate onions with a passion!) and red pepper flakes, as I didn't have any on hand. I will definitely be making this one again! Follow-up: I made this again since I had ingredients leftover only made with 4 eggs per shell instead of 3 and loved it even more!

I guess I'm more of a creamy quiche lover. It sounded good so I tried it. I was skeptical of making this dish without any cream or milk in recipe, but went ahead with it. The egg did its job and brought it together. The flavor was spinach and that was it. Maybe I will try it with a little milk and hea,vy cream.
