Quiche is a very popular and great meal because just about anything can go into one and perfect for breakfast lunch or dinner! This artichoke quiche is easy to make with frozen prepared crust and a quickly prepared filling. The cheese can be whatever you prefer however we chose provolone instead of the traditional Swiss cheese. Feel free to adapt the recipe to your preferences.
