We enjoy other quiches, but this is by far our favorite. People we have served it, some who don't normally like quiche, really like this quiche. We may modify it slightly for variation (since its always the recipe we turn too), but each variation is delicious! It is good hot or cold; So it is a wonderful dish to make ahead.
