MAKEOVER REAL-MAN QUICHE

Makeover Real-Man Quiche image

This quiche is one of my husband's favorites, probably because it has bacon. Sometimes I add sliced fresh white or baby portobello mushrooms and saute them with the onions for more "meatiness." The makeover version looks wonderful! - Ruby Hochstetler, Holland, Michigan
