Recipe Notes
- The add-ons or substitutions are rather endless.
- Use fresh spinach! About a large bag (at least 9 ounces), steamed down, drained and cooled. I prefer baby spinach for its tenderness. (I tend to get the huge box containers of spinach for salads. When I have leftovers in the box or its just gotten to the edge of where I'll eat in a salad... I use it in sautes or quiches.)
- Change up the cheeses! Use Swiss, Gouda, Muenster, Gruyere... etc.! You can even add soft herb cheeses. I've not ventured into goat cheeses yet, but if I do, I'll let you know.
- Add herbs. I love to add chives. I've done a smoked salmon quiche before and added dill. Basil might add a new twist to some quiches. Be creative!
