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.

Love this recipe! The girls at work request this at every opportunity for a gathering or special breakfast!

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!

I made this for Easter to share with my co-workers and they LOVED it!! They have requested that I make it again for the next pot-luck breakfast we have. Wonderful and simple recipe. Thank you!! :D

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.

Best quiche recipe yet!

For my church's Easter Sunrise potluck I'm making this quiche, but I'm substituting ham for the bacon and cheddar for the swiss cheese. I'll make another one with swiss cheese and asparagus. No matter what you add, quiche is always good. I make several just for my husband and I and we reheat wedges in the microwave on a covered plate for breakfast the next morning and it's even better the second day!

Had a bumper crop of green onions so I thought I'd give this quiche a try (LOVE quiche!) even though I was hesitant about the apple juice. Turns out it compliments the bacon nicely! Fussbudget hubby enjoyed it! Who says REAL MEN don't like quiche? I was also tickled pink to see you're from RI! I lived in Warwick all my life, went to Pilgrim High and raised my kids there, living in Gaspee Plateau and Gov. Francis Farms. Miss the yearly parade there and Oh boy, do I miss chowder and clamcakes! Have to drive back from Florida every so often for a bowl of chowder at Iggy's - and a NY System hot dog! Thanks for the great quiche recipe, Colleen from Warwick! :)

I make this often. I halfed the heavy whipping cream and add about 1/2 c of celery and 1/2 of carrots.

Excellent quiche! This is the first one I've ever made and it got rave reviews. I added 6oz of sliced mushrooms sauted in 1tbsp butter. The mushrooms were an excellent addition! Also, I couldn't find unsweetened applejuice so I used sweetened and it was great. I cooked it a 15min longer because of the added mushrooms. Great recipe and so easy to make!

This quiche was absolutely delicious and a real keeper! I didn't have the apple juice on hand and it turned out great without it! YUM!

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.

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

Reviewed on Mar. 14, 2009 by shawninger

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.
