- Mushroom draining: Essential to avoid a watery quiche
- Chicken: Use leftover roasted chicken for more flavor
- Nutmeg: Grate it fresh for optimal aroma
- Resting: Allows the quiche to hold perfectly when cutting
- Serve this quiche warm with a green salad dressed with mustard vinaigrette.
- A dry white wine like Chardonnay or a light red like Gamay will pair wonderfully.
