I usually don’t care much for quiche. However, I was invited to a friend’s house for lunch and was happily surprised to really enjoy this. When I asked for the recipe, she sent me to your site. Thanks.

This has become a regular at our house. It is so quick to put together and can be made ahead easily and just warmed up. I too use mostly whole eggs and just yesterday made a big change since asparagus was fresh in my supermarket so I subbed it for the spinach – just sauteed the chopped asparagus with the onions. I think this is such a versatile recipe – use what is fresh in your market.

I’ve been making this for a few years now – we love it. I’ve made it as recipe reads and have also changed sometimes – different cheeses, whole eggs (4) – depends on what I have on hand. It is always great.
