That's what I love about quiche. Whatever's on hand sparks the creativity. This one turned out exceptionally well. In addition to the six eggs, 3/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup heavy cream, I did this:
Browned in butter some jarred artichokes (non-marinated, from Trader Joe's -- they are baby chokes with stems, but bottoms would do just as well).
In the bottom of the pie shell I put a layer of sliced monterey jack cheese. (You sure could use fontina or gruyere or something else here.) When the artichokes were browned, I put them on top of the cheese. Then I sprinkled in some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, some halved kalamata olives, some chopped raw spinach, some grated parmesan cheese. Over that I poured the egg-cream mixture, and a bit of fresh grated nutmeg and a sprinkling of grated jack cheese.
I think it was the best quiche I ever made.
