I use yogurt to make quiche.
1 8oz carton of plain yogurt & 3 eggs for one 9-inch deep dish crust.
Mix together and pour into the unbaked crust.
Add about 2 cups of whatever cheese you like - cheddar & Swiss work well, mozzarella gets too stringy - some chopped onions or ham or crumbled crispy bacon or browned sausage, green pepper or all of them.
Bake at 375 until it tests done - a knife poked in the center comes out clean.
It will puff up while baking and fall some when it cools but that doesn't mean it won't taste good.
I use 4 med. eggs whipped to cooked broculli and chopped onion
chopped ham into a pie crusts ..

Check out the Recipe Index at the top of this forum (stickied and locked). There are some great recipes for quiche, including a wonderful zucchini quiche that I submitted!
I don't usually like quiche, but my mum made this when I was visiting and it was so good I had a second piece and asked her for the recipe.
Broccoli Quiche oven 375 F
2 Tbsp. butter (I use Becel)
1 onion minced
1 Tsp. minced garlic
2 cup fresh broccoli
1 (9") unbaked pie crust
11/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ( you can use cheddar)
3 eggs well beaten
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp. butter (marg) melted
dash cayenne pepper
Over Med. heat melt butter in large saucepan. Add onions, garlic and broccoli. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until vegetables are soft. Spoon veg. into crust and sprinkle with cheese.
Combine eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in melted butter. Pour egg mixture over veg & cheese. Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 min. or until centre has set.
I think the secret to great quiche (besides a great crust)is using heavy whipping cream to make the custard.
Chile Relleno Quiche
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
1 frozen or home-made pie crust pre-baked and cooled
6 medium to large fresh eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce
1 cup shredded Mexican melting cheese or Monterey Jack
1 can green chiles, drained and chopped into small pieces
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly whisk the eggs, cream, pepper, and hot sauce in a bowl just until combined.
Arrange the drained chopped chiles over the bottom of the pie crust.
Arrange the shredded cheese over the chiles.
Place the baking sheet in your pre-heated oven, and place the pie tin on the baking sheet.
NOW pour the egg mixture over the cheese, filling the crust, and slowly push in the rack.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, until the top of the quiche is browned, and the center is still jiggly.
Cool on a rack for 15 minutes minimum. Serve with salad.
This quiche may be served hot or cold, and reheats well.
Easiest ever.
