Cheese Soufflé Quiche

When you think nothing can be better than an airy, rich and sumptuous soufflé, simply add a hint of garlic, sauteed onions and a good amount of gruyère cheese. Pour the mixture over a homemade pie dough and you have an elegant lunch dish which, when served with a crisp and chilled white wine, ranks amongst the best dishes in our home. Of course, you can use a store bought pie dough and you have dinner ready in 45 minutes, with only a few minutes of preparation. The beauty of this dish, is it makes for wonderful leftovers and can be served for another light lunch.
