Swiss Cheese and Mushroom Quiche

This Swiss cheese and mushroom quiche is a variation of the basic quiche recipe, the same one that I used to make the feta and spinach quiche earlier this month. I added a touch of our special truffle salt – salt with 5% dried black truffles! The small amount of truffle salt in its little jar is immensely powerful and adds a really gourmand touch to this mushroom quiche.

  1. Truffle salt. Now I know how to use it! I saw it in a speciality spice shop in town and wondered how I could use it. Quiche is one of my easy summer meals to make with a tossed salad or fruit platter.
