suggestions and cooking tips

The #1 reason I love this recipe is that it doesn't have a crust. The less steps the better when I'm trying to navigate the kitchen in the wee morning hours. No rolling or prebaking of the crust to mess with. And my crust was never quite right when it came to quiche making. It was either a little soggy or not the right size to fit my pie pan.
It's best to cook the vegetables before adding them to the quiche. Otherwise the quiche will not set up quite right. Either sauté or steam the veggies. If you are in a hurry, zap the finely diced vegetables in the microwave at 30 second intervals until they are just cooked through.
Cut the quiche in nice neat squares for serving. Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat in the microwave on 60% power for 30 seconds.
