I felt like this recipe was a bit odd in that it seems vague in its instructions. As an experienced cook, I was able to make it work, but you might want to add more instructions. The artichokes and spinach obviously need to be chopped, I also added in some garlic powder, thyme and rosemary for more flavor. This made a huge amount of filling. I used a crust and still had some leftover filling, which I turned into a frittata in another pan. The original quiche was so full that it took an hour and a half to bake. That said, it was really delicious! Next time, I will prep two crusts and make two quiches. It's the best low fat quiche I've ever had, so the basic recipe is good, just needs a few tweaks.
