Reviews
I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine at least 10 years ago and have made it many times since. Using the milk, mayo cheese and egg base I have made many variations. My favorite being chicken and artichoke. Other’s I’ve done. Bacon (lorraigne) or ham and pineapple. Really whatever ingredients I have on hand. I usually use shredded pepper jack cheese since I always have that. When ever I make this I am always asked for the recipe.
Perfect! Not only easy to prepare but turns out beautiful! Picture worthy quiche was excellent. Great recipe, perfect cooking time. To super-size a little I do use 3 eggs and entire box of spinach. As a volunteer feild editor with Taste of Home magazine, I like this recipe because it can be easily customized to my families tastes.
I made this last night. I made two changes...I used broccoli instead of spinach, because I already had it in my freezer and I made it crustless. It was very good.
After reading the reviews, I skipped the mayo, used 4 eggs, added some hot pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. Since I had a deep dish pie crust, I increased the chicken to 2 cups. Using the convection function on my oven, this turned out beautifully browned and the family loved it. Will definitely make again!
I substituted broccoli for the spinach, cut back (just a little) on the mayo and used a combination of milk and half and half for the rest of the liquid. I also added a little Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper for additional flavor. My kids were sure they weren't going to like this...so they had seconds just to be sure. : ) Delicious!
how much chicken? don't see it on the list of ingredients
This has been a favorite for a few years now. I found it in the 2004 annual recipe book. I have tried it many ways, substituting ham, broccoli, zucchini, adding mushrooms, bell peppers, different cheeses. More eggs, less mayo. It always come out great and we love having leftovers.
This quiche baked to a golden brown and looked so pretty. It was delicious (and I just realized that I forgot to put the cheese on the bottom. )
OMGoodness, we *love* quiche. This has already become one of our favorites. YUM! J.
This was so good! I can't wait til I'm hungry again so I can eat my leftover slice :)
