Good use of leftover buttermilk and lighter than traditional quiche. I did not use canned vegetables however, I used thin-sliced zucchini, minced white onion and fresh oregano. I mixed these three together in a bowl with a few shakes of salt and microwaved them a minute or two, then drained any excess moisture and added them to the mix. I also used shredded Colby-jack instead of American cheese--better flavor, not gummy. The recipe needed a little more than 45 minutes to bake. I don't like a too-soft quiche. It is a very tasty brunch or light supper dish. I plan to try it with cooked, drained chopped spinach next time.

I tweaked this recipe. I make the buttermilk by just adding a tablespoon of white vinegar to the milk. I just defrost a block of frozen spinach in the microwave and squeeze the water out. Also I sub shredded cheddar cheese for American cheese. You can even use 4 eggs.
