Every now and then I like to make breakfast for dinner, or make a lighter dinner. This quiche recipe could fall into either of those categories, and it's perfect for a brisk fall night at home. We love to pair it with homemade applesauce, but it would also be great with a side salad.

| I don't own many Pampered Chef items, but I love this grater that they make! It was easy to just grate the cheese right into the pan. |
Beat eggs slightly in large bowl with whisk. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour into quiche dish.
Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300F. Bake about 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
