This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out delicious. The quiche was light and fluffy, and the vegetables were tender and flavorful.

This quiche was good, but not great. The crust was a little dry and the filling was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
