Klcrn_PA_Zone6A - My family doesn't like Swiss cheese, either, so I've substituted with Cheddar and/or Cheddar/Colby mix and it's still wonderful.

Light and fluffy, this scrumptious quiche is ideal for breakfast or brunch but can also be served at dinnertime. Serve with a clump of chilled grapes or other fresh fruit on the side. —Colleen Belbey Warwick, Rhode Island

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 eggs
• 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
• 1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

Directions:

Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Set aside. In a small skillet, saute green onions in butter until tender.
    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and juice. Stir in the bacon, salt, pepper and green onions. Pour into pastry; sprinkle with cheese.
    Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.

This recipe looks sooo good but my family doesn't like swiss cheese. Can I sub provolone or mozzarella cheese??

I made two of these and everyone who tasted them said it was the best quiche they ever had. My husband said he could have ate a whole quiche himself.
