This is a very plain and uncomplicated recipe I found in my moms recipe box. The original recipe called for "Mrs. Smith's Mealmaker Pie Shell", but since those are no longer available, I made my own shell out of a quiche crust recipe I also found in her recipe box. Convenient!

NOTE: This version of the recipe is for a small quiche. For a full size 9" pie size quiche, double the ingredients for both the quiche and the crust. Also, these 2 recipes call for 2 different oven settings. I compromise between 350 and 400 by setting the oven to 375.
