I'm allergic to bacon. Do you think I could use sausage or ham instead?

The quiche was good, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

This quiche was a little too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used pre-cooked bacon and frozen shredded potatoes to save time.

I'm not a big fan of grits, but I really enjoyed this quiche. The bacon and cheddar flavors were dominant, and the grits just added a bit of texture.
