Light and fluffy, this scrumptious quiche is ideal for breakfast or brunch but can also be served at dinnertime. Serve with a clump of chilled grapes or other fresh fruit on the side.

I made two of these and everyone who tasted them said it was the best quiche they ever had. My husband said he could have ate a whole quiche himself.

This recipe looks sooo good but my family doesn't like swiss cheese. Can I sub provolone or mozzarella cheese??

Klcrn_PA_Zone6A - My family doesn't like Swiss cheese, either, so I've substituted with Cheddar and/or Cheddar/Colby mix and it's still wonderful.
