I add bacon to this one, but I love it. I think the it call for to much onion though, so I use less.

This was really easy and delicious! I'm not even that big of a quiche fan, and I loved it. I'll definitely make this again. I sprinkled some cracked pepper over the top, and next time I might add a dash of tabasco.

Pretty tasty. I modified the recipe by using red peppers instead of onion, 3/4 C 2% milk with 1/4 C sour cream instead of half and half, and added 1/3 C chopped ham to the egg mixture. Rich and hearty.
