"In my quest to find out what makes a quiche fluffy, I've cobbled together this recipe. And it makes a great tasting quiche with a beautiful presentation. The key (surprisingly) is not to overbeat the eggs, not to use too hot of an oven, and don't overdue the liquids."

    I love quiche and this one was to die for. Loved the combo of flavors with the cheesy custard like filling! Funny thing is I don't like Gruyere cheese by itself, but melted it is amazing! I didn't use as much spinach as was called for as DH doesn't care for its cooked texture. It was perfect for our tastes. Made for Veg'n Swap tag.

  2. This was FANTASTIC! I had to submit a review because it only has 3 Reviews and it should have more. The Gruyere cheese is phenomenal along with all the other melding of flavors. I had this for Mother's Day Brunch and everyone loved it. Great recipe and this is a keeper!

  3. Very good! I subbed some leftover cheese and used fat-free sour cream instead of yogurt with wonderful success. This makes a lot of filling, so after filling my frozen pie crust I filled 4 tart size pans for a future meal. Thanks for sharing!

  4. This turned out fabulous - in fact I've made it twice in one week! I subbed mushrooms for the roasted peppers and gouda cheese for the gruyere - also my baking time was only 40 minutes. Perfect go to recipe!

  5. Oh my gosh, this was terrific! Generally, when I say I'm making a quiche, my DH is under orders to lead me away from the kitchen. I am rarely successful. This came out perfect!! I subbed swiss cheese, and used frozen spinach, and it was light and fluffy and the crust wasn't gooey and it was perfect!! I wouldn't change a single thing.

I'm a recipe junkie and collect way too many cookbooks. But when it's time to actually make something, I quickly turn to the internet... I started avoiding meat more than 20 years ago for environmental reasons. (It takes so many resources and the pollution risks of confinement operations are huge.) I've been vegan for years now and can report that the health benefits are also real. I really don't understand why people insist on eating meat
