This healthy entrée features whole-wheat crust and seasonal veggies
Quiche, an egg-based savory tart, originated in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. This light dinner or beautiful brunch entrée offers a pleasant palate of fresh veggies. But, depending on seasonal availability, feel free to switch out your veggies to baby artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, squash or fennel. Many mushrooms do well in quiche, as do oysters or even truffles for a real splurge. The whole-wheat pie crust is healthier than the typical pie crust (laden with saturated fats) and takes only a few minutes to mix and roll out. Enjoy!
