There are many people who think quiche has to be a complicated dish, saved for special occasions when you're going to spend hours in the kitchen anyway.
Not true! This is a simple quiche that is so delicious. You don't have to do any tricky cooking; just mix, pour, top with cheese, bake. What could be simpler.
I suggest you give the Gruyere cheese a try. That's the one splurge you can do to make this quiche stand out for a special occasion. Otherwise, if you have Cheddar on hand, by all means use it.
If you have a man in the family that turns his nose up at this vegetarian dish, fry up some bacon, throw it in, and call him to the table. I doubt there will be any complaints!
