Bacon & Swiss Quiche

{Bacon & Swiss Quiche}

I first had this delightful quiche about 7 years ago at a bridal shower.
It was my hubby's Aunt Marty's recipe.  I've never had anything she had that wasn't yummy.
We have been enjoying it ever since.  We had a very fun (but busy) weekend.
We headed to the Great Wolf Lodge for a few days of R&R.  It was wonderful.
However, come Sunday evening I wanted a simple supper.  This hit the spot.
This is a perfect recipe for a Baby or Bridal shower....or just a nice quick meal.
Enjoy!  Blessings for a wonderful week!
