Spinach, Roquefort and Walnut Quiche

FlemishMinx's Note:

This unusual combination of ingredients results in a delicious quiche. Add a salad in the summer or a bowl of soup in the winter along with some crusty bread for a complete and easy meal.

Oh yum! Really quick to make and packs a lot of flavour with a few simple ingredients. The nuts provide a wonderful soft crunch. Thanks for a lovely recipe!

this was delicious, and very easy to prepare. i can see adding all sorts of ingredients, though the only addition i made was some nutmeg and fresh tarragon with the spinach, lovely lunch.
