Notes:
2022-10-02: served with Elaine’s Mother’s tomatoes, Lyd changed the recipe to half Swiss and half Gruyère.
2022-02-12: We omitted the bacon, but added Gruyère. The onions and mushrooms were cooked dry first.
2021-03-16: the Chili’s were skipped and discarded. The time was extended 10 minutes.
2019-12-29: Still a little wet, an excellent batch.
2018-04-11: although baked 15 minutes longer then suggested the quiche was still very wet.
