Well, I think the first thing wrong is that the recipe likely called for
evaporated milk not condensed milk. Two totally different things and
evaporated milk is not sweetened and is sometimes used as a cream
substitute.

Since there's not a recipe for the second time I can only guess that you
used the first recipe and since 2% is significantly more watery than
evaporated milk that was your problem.

Here's Julia Child's recipe from The French Chef cookbook

Quiche Au Fromage

1 C grated swiss cheese
1 8" unbaked pie shell
1 1/4 C milk
3 eggs
1/2 t salt
pinch of pepper and nutmeg
1-2 T butter

Spread 3/4 of cheese in pie shell. Beat together eggs, milk and
seasonings. Pour into pie shell. sprinkle with remaining cheese and
dot with butter. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.

Honestly, I have changed the cheese to jack and/or added sauteed
mushrooms or asparagus or broccoli or crumbled bacon etc and it's always
been good.

good luck
