SUPER yummy!
We don't eat ham in my family, but turkey works just as well.

Better without the crust!
LOVE my vitamix, but I've been having problems with crusts... The dry container over heats the "flours" & everything tastes off...

great idea!
I hadn't thought about making a quiche in the vitamix. Whips up the ingredients in seconds - so much easier than by hand and whisk! Delicious!

Dough Is Hard
The quiche is rock solid, but making the dough in a blender is still a bit of tricky business for me
