This quiche was amazing! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it turned out perfectly. The filling was rich and creamy, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a whole wheat pie crust, and it was still very good. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.
