Black truffle salt is a little pricey, but it is so worth it if you love truffles but not their price. This quiche combines the flavor of black truffle with assorted mushrooms, fresh asparagus and baby swiss cheese in a cream and milk custard. Be sure to use the best ingredients available to you, if possible. Farm fresh eggs and locally sourced veggies and dairy products are ideal. I just wish we could grow our own truffles, ha ha! :-)
