About this Quiche Recipe

By: Christina Hills

So, I decided to make my first quiche. I had never made one before, or at least I can’t remember if I did, maybe in my 20s. In any case, while looking up online quiche recipes, I couldn’t believe how varied they were, and how I wasn’t finding the answers I was looking for. Therefore, I decided to make my own recipe by doing a combination of mixing a bunch of other recipes up, and also asking my friend Randi.

This quiche is gluten-free, but you can easily make it with a regular pie crust. I always buy pre-made pie crust because I don’t want to hassle with making it from scratch.

Also, I hate recipes that have ingredients that I don’t normally keep around the house, such as heavy cream or half-and-half. We don’t keep those in our home; we only have skim milk. So, I’m making this recipe with skim milk.

You could really use anything in this recipe, but I’ve decided that the combination of asparagus, ham, and green onions worked well.
