* 1/2 tsp salt, divided use

Set the quiche pan on a baking sheet and bake until a knife blade inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.

Remove the quiche from the oven and cool on a sire rack. let the quiche rest at least 20 minutes before cutting in pieces. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.
