Directions
Pour mixture into quiche dish or pie pan sprayed briefly with nonstick spray and bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 30 to 40 min or until a toothpick inserted slightly off center comes out clean.
Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.
Sometimes this comes out watery (like custard sometimes does), but it still tastes good.
