I'm sorry, I can't remember which thread it was. Maybe @Indy51 will come by and correct me, if memory fails.

She uses a wide Pyrex flan dish.
Lines it with bacon (I used ham)
Then layers spinach, asparagus, halved cherry toms, mushrooms, er... whatever you like + goats cheese.
Then beats 12 eggs and... ?... (I used cream)
Spinkles cheese on top
Bakes @150 degrees for an hour or so
Allow to cool, then remove from dish and drain on wire tray (the veg release a lot of water, and your quiche will be soggy unless you do this.
Refrigerate.
Serves 8

I used a 9 inch square silicon baking dish, and 9 eggs (planned on 6 but added more to raise the level higher), but next time I will use more veg and Stick to 6 eggs.

Your version sounds delicious - and you're right, any ingredients you enjoy can be added to this dish. I'll often substitute based on what's in season/on special - spring onions are in season here and I'm using those instead of chives lately. My original post about it is here:

Deb, if you put hard avocados in a paper bag with a ripe banana, this ripens them a treat. It may work without the banana in case you don't have one.
