Notes
This quiche recipe is easy to customize to whatever you want. Make it vegetarian with broccoli, zucchini, etc. Try it with breakfast sausage. Use whatever kind of cheeses that you like. Or make this version that Brenda has perfected. You can used milk, half-and-half or heavy cream. Heavy cream give it a much silkier and rich texture.
