I wanted to make a quiche but didn't want the usual flavors, so I used ingredients I had in my pantry and refrigerator to come up with this recipe. I was surprised at the great taste and how well the flavors came together. My neighbor asked for the recipe and had the same success! —Tamie Bradford, Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota

Our favorite quiche recipe by far. Tonight I made this for the second time, using half the seasoning because I found it too salty last time. And I only have Mozzarella cheese in hand. It turned out to be gooey goodness, and not as salty.

cherstad you may want to get a thermometer for your oven. Having grown up with quiche as a standard dish for the dinner table, and now having an adult child of my own having quiche as an often meal, I can tell you that there is no way it should have taken 80 minutes to cook, especially at 400! Your oven must be off. I have never had to bake a quiche for more than 45 minutes tops even at 350.

Got this out of the Freezer pleasers Cookbook as i just had a baby and am looking for dishes to freeze and eat. This quiche was much different than other quiches and was fantastic! Everyone, including my 2 young daughters, loved it. We didnt include the olives as that is not in their palette yet and it didnt feel like we were missing a flavor. Am recommending this to other skating moms at our rink!

This is really good, and I love that it makes an extra quiche for the freezer. My only change was to use egg substitute and regular milk, and to add some cayenne to the egg mixture for a kick.

This is absolutely delicious. I have shared this with friends and they too loved it.

This dish smelled delicious as it was baking, but the baking time was more than double double what the recipe stated. I had to bake this for 80 minutes before the center was finally set....I would expect that baking one from frozen would take even longer. However, the finished dish was tasty although I felt the flavor from the taco seasoning was very strong. I would try making this again but with half the amount of taco seasoning, and now I know how long this actually takes to bake in my oven.

I've made this recipe twice and my family really loves it! I leave the salsa out and put out sour cream, guacamole, & salsa to top the quiche with. It's a really easy recipe and is good with just canned chicken if you're pressed for prep time.
