I make this recipe for almost any occasion - it's popular with company and at potluck dinners, and I've passed it around to many friends. My husband and I are growing lots of squash this summer...all for this quiche!

My family and I like this recipe very much. It is one of our favorite zucchini recipes. I did not change any of the ingredients.

I really like this recipe...the herbs really give it a lot of flavor. I wouldn't say its a good recipe for kids though as mine are picky about "spices" in their food. But it would be great for a potluck or picnic or brunch.

Excellent!! A perfect blend of herbs. I wouldn't change a thing. This is a definite "keeper". The presentation is awesome as well. Thank you for a great recipe !!!

This was the worst thing I've ever tasted. Making this wasted my tme AND money. I hope none of you don't believe me and make it anyway. Not only did my children hate it, my visitor did too.

It's a 40.00 dollar bill I deserve back!!!

I substitued cottage cheese for ricotta and it was delicious.

Fastest I have ever seen a veggie pie disappear.

THIS WAS SO GOOD! I modified by using a little less butter, using reduced-fat mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, and using fat-free evaporated milk. I'll definitely be making this again.
