Sweet Onion & Swiss Quiche
E. Marie
This recipe uses the microwave ... a real time saver ... and an energy saver in the summer months, keeps your kitchen a bit cooler. Quiche's are so easy and filling served with fresh fruit or a green salad, or perhaps cantaloupe or watermelon ... so very refreshing and cool!
