Bake at 350º for 35-45 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.

This is a family favorite. I make this whenever we have company and everyone seems to like it. It makes a great breakfast.
there's a variation made with pepper-jack cheese instead of cheddar:

This sounds so easy and GOOD! I'm a sucker for sausage and cheeses.

I made this last night and it was excellent! My eyes have been opened to Quiche and it's many different possibilities
