INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell

DIRECTIONS

  1. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. BAKE for 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes on wire rack before serving.

This is by far the most popular recipe I've served to family and friends.... and so versatile! I use diced ham instead of bacon when pressed for time, and ground sausage with some sage makes it really hearty. I also throw in veggies whenever I'm in the mood - spinach and mushrooms are great. I've also substituted 1/2 cup Cheddar for some of the Swiss - it adds color and a little "bite" to the flavor (be sure you keep at least 1 cup of the Swiss, I've discovered that reducing below that alters the texture too much). Basically, you can suit whatever 'food mood' you encounter with this amazing recipe!!

I liked this recipe although it came out a bit greasy tasting due to the bacon. I chopped mine up before putting it in the pie and used some low fat monterrery jack cheese mixed with swiss and a dash of red pepper. Next time I will use all low fat cheese and skim evap. milk to make it more light tasting.

I've made this quiche several times, but I use cubed ham instead of bacon. I also use green onions. It turns out perfect every time. It also freezes well.
