DO NOT ADD ANY SALT – cheese is salty so adding extra salt is unnecessary and the end result will be too salty if extra salt is added.
This quiche is so versatile. Both variations I made turned out beautiful and delicious. We could not decide our favorite. The quiche I enjoyed in Hermann, MO was made with canned artichokes and frozen spinach. I don't know the amounts used, but it was fantastic. Neither ingredient overpowered the egg mixture, so I think equal portions of each were used and not a lot of either one.
This is the pie crust recipe given to me along with the quiche recipe, but I used store-bought crust and it tasted great.
