Notes
This savory pie crust comes out firm and flaky, while the filling is soft and melts in your mouth. Although most traditional quiches have dairy in them, we substituted extra vegetables for the cheese. The filling for this recipe can be changed to include spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, or other vegetables you prefer. It is also a great way to use leftovers in the fridge to bake into a savory quiche pie. For a non-vegetarian version, you can add in bacon, prosciutto, or other meats.
