 Jq (Massachusetts) says:
I used this recipe as my first attempt at quiche. I modified it by adding chopped onions sauteed in a bit of butter and just a little bit of dried rosemary. I also shorted the half and half by 1/2 cup. Quiche came out great and I was appreciative of the detailed step by step the recipe gave.
