This was easy to put together, interesting flavors. Next time I will probably leave out the cayenne pepper as it competes with the other flavors and completely overwhelms the nutmeg. The pinenuts give it an nice crunch.

This quiche recipe is fantastic! Easy to make and came out delicious. I always mix half and half with the milk, but this quiche does not need it. The artichoke hearts and the cheeses make it rich enough. I think next time I'll add some sun dried tomatoes and pre bake the crust like it says in the review by krasnesky1. Thanks for the tip!

Just right for the ingredients I wanted. Great tasting. Like the addition of the nutmeg.

Quite nice! We added sun dried tomatoes and pre baked the pie crust for ten minutes to avoid the typical soggy quiche crust. The cayenne and nutmeg sound like unusual choices for quiche spices, but both really added a nice but subtle kick. Love this recipe.
