Not sweetened condensed milk, fat-free evaporated milk - I use it all
the time in my quiche recipe, which was published in Family Circle (I
think) and calls for evaporated milk. I've changed it a bit over the
years. There's no real taste to it when it's in quiche. You'd have
to be told it had evap. milk.

Here's my recipe:

Cheesy Bacon Quiche (makes 2)

2 9-inch unbaked pastry shells (serve one now;
freeze one)
1 lb. bacon, fried and crumbled into bits
1/2 C. chopped onion, divided
1/2 C. chopped green pepper, divided
3 C. shredded cheese, to taste (I use a combination of
Monterey Jack, Colby and Cheddar)
4 - 5 eggs, depending on size. I use Jumbo, and still use 5, for the
deep dish pie shells
2 T. flour
2 tsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
3 C. light cream or evaporated milk (I use fat-free)

Heat oven to 425 deg. F., and bake pastry shells for 6 minutes.
Remove and reduce temperature to 350 deg. F. Beat eggs thoroughly and
add in the flour, parsley, salt, powder and pepper. Slowly beat in
the milk. Divide bacon, onion and green pepper into the two partially-
baked pie shells. Put shredded cheese on top of other ingredients.
Carefully pour the liquid mixture into the pie shells over the other
ingredients. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until knife inserted in center
comes out clean. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving; if freezing
one, allow it to cool completely.
