Very good
troubleinwva - May 9, 2008 01:29:35 PM PSTThis recipe was very easy to prepare and tasted great. I made a couple of changes though... I substituted heavy cream for some of the half and half so that it had a creamier consistency and I added a some grated onion with the bacon and asparagus. I served it with fresh fruit for Sunday brunch and everyone loved it.

Excellent!
KME - June 3, 2008 06:46:16 AM PSTI loved this recipe! It was the first time I made a quiche and this easy recipe helped me through it and it was very successful. I'm also now in love with that Pillsbury unroll pie crust. I made a small change to the recipe by using onion as well and I liked the addition.

Good, but?
egads - May 9, 2008 09:48:07 PM PSTEasier to use 4 oz sour cream, 3 eggs, and 1 cup of shredded cheese (I prefer colby-jack, but any will do) for the "main" filling. You mix it all, pour into an unbaked pie shell, and bake at 450 for 30 minutes. You can add anything you want, asparagus included. You can also use low or nonfat sour cream and/or cheese.
