Golden Onion Quiche

Try this quick and easy golden onion quiche recipe made especially for the microwave.

It is made with a frozen pie crust, French fried onions, mozzarella cheese, cream and chives.

It has the crunchiness and flavor of French-fried onions, but inside this quiche recipe is smooth and mellow. 

Heavy cream makes the eggs light and fluffy and the mozzarella cheese complements the French fried onions in this egg recipe.

This is a different take on a breakfast or brunch quiche. This is the original recipe from a microwave class in the early 1980's and is baked in the microwave. This breakfast recipe works well for any meal of the day.
