“SUPERB!!!! The only modification I did was to use leftover ham instead of canned. The filling is creamy almost velevety. Prep is a breeze! The presentaion is just beautiful. Served it as a light dinner with salad. Even DH (who still clings to that “real” man garbage with quiches) adored it! Thanks Uncle Bill, I will be making this again!”
