Quick Quiche

When my husband and I went to Ithaca, NY for our anniversary this past October we stayed at a B and B called The Yellow Barn. It was our first experience at a B and B. We loved our time there. Our lovely hostess was a woman from France. For our breakfast the second morning we had quiche. It was so tastey and creamy. While I do not have her recipe I am venturing to guess that she used heavy cream. It was so delicious. My husband absolutely loved it and kept talking about it. I knew I needed to make quiche again and wow, it only took me, what, six months to finally make it.

I toned the calories down quite a bit, adding light cream instead of heavy cream. Still very tastey. I have made it two times. One pictured above with broccoli and one with asparagus. We loved them.
