Spinach? Ham? Cheese? Something else? I am making one this weekend and can't decide.

Leeks are my favourite thing to put into quiche. Clean them, slice them, sautee them with some butter and let them cook down until just tender. Then, layer them on the crust and pour the egg mixture over to assemble the quiche.
Other quiches I enjoy making are asparagus or spinach with cheese, and salmon (either smoked, or poached & flaked) with lots of dill.
I always add a pinch of ground nutmeg to my vegetable quiches, especially spinach (I got this tip from 'The Silver Palate' cookbook, which has some terrific quiche ideas). It really makes the flavour pop.

This a crustless quiche so it is a lot lighter! You could toss in some bacon, mushrooms, or whatever else suits your fancy!
SPINACH AND RICOTTA PIE!
1 medium onion, chopped
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
8 ounce mozzarella cheese, grated
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Sauté until all liquid from spinach evaporates, about 3 minutes.
Combine ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses in large bowl. Mix in eggs. Add spinach mixture; blend well.
Spoon cheese mixture into greased pan. Bake until filling is set in center and brown on top, about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut pie into wedges.

Don't put too many ingredients in it, try this;
Crumble Shropshire blue or Stilton cheese in bottom of pastry, dice some lean ham and put on top of cheese, fry leeks in butter till soft then add them too, 4 eggs broken into jug with cream or full cream milk, whisk then pour over the lot, top with some more cheese and bake till set.

Aside from the standard eggs, cheese and cream.
I like bacon, spinach, artichoke hearts and sauteed onions or shallots.

Try a whole soft boiled egg. A little bit sticks out the top and looks great if you cut it in half. It may sound a bit redundant - but it tastes great.
Hope this helps.

always, onions and cheese. bacon and/or spinach is also great. My mom made one with (well cooked) broccoli and cauliflower, and that was surprisingly tasty (with cheese in it too).

My favorite is spinach and broccoli, and I add fresh crumbled bacon to both. I saute them both in onions and garlic. I vary the milk sometimes; I may use evaporated milk, half & half, or cream .............
