GF Crustless Spring Vegetable Quiche
I love quiche, but I don’t love the work that goes into it. This is a great, easy recipe to whip together – and it requires no rolling out of dough or other time-consuming prep, but still gives you that warm, comforting, satisfying quiche flavor. Because it doesn’t have a crust, it’s also a bit better for you in terms of calories and fat than traditional quiche. Don’t have spring vegetables? You can substitute in equal parts of any other vegetable (or swap the veg out for meat).
