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

Pretty good, though I thought it had a bit too much bacon

This was oh-so-good. I served it for dinner. Love all of the yummy Swiss cheese. Mine was still a little underdone when I checked it at the end of suggested cooking time but I raised the temperature 5 degrees and cooked for 5 more minutes and it turned out perfect. I ate a leftover piece for breakfast this morning and it was just as good and did not get soggy.

This quiche was incredible! I loved it, it was simple to make, and my dear loving fiance couldn't get enough! The only change I made to the original was that I used a yellow onion vs. green onion only because I have too many onions to jusify buying another type! Fabulous and done in 45 min. Great recipe Colleen! Thanks!

Very easy, tastes richer than it really is and with a salad,a perfect meal.

If you want a truly light and fluffy quiche try pre-baking your pie crust before you fill it and place the pie pan in a water bath before baking. A quiche is a type of custard and will retain its delicate consistency far better if treated as one.

Absolutely amazing. The best quiche I ever ate. So smooth and you can never eat just one slice.

My husband and I loved it but my 3 and 6 year old weren't as pleased

Lovesthe sound of this quiche recipe, but the calories, fat & sodium are way too high. Instead of heavy cream I used evaporated milk, and liquid egg whites instead of whole eggs, plus low fat cheese to make it more reasonable. Still delicious.
