Asparagus Quiche

There are a lot of recipes for this quiche out there, so browse around and find one that suits your style, ingredients and time. Wednesdays are our meat-free days. We do add bacon to a lot of our Meat-Free recipes, but that is because I don't see bacon as meat... More as a taste enhancer or garnish! This is my version of an Asparagus Quiche, and I am throwing it together as I go along... Let's see how it turns out!
