For a richer flavor, consider using Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil. Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing, as it will be easier to cut and hold its shape. This quiche is delicious served warm or at room temperature. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and vegetables. Spinach, mushrooms, or bacon would all be wonderful additions.
