Asparagus Quiche
I just love quiche and I really should make it more than I do. This healthy Asparagus Quiche is a wonderful choice for breakfast and even dinner.
Confession time. I do not make my own pie crust. Really just because I have never mastered it and I’m a little impatient. But luckily Trader Joe’s has yummy pie crusts that make my life easier. I don’t plan on giving up on making my own… one day.

1 tablespoon of coconut oil
4 egg whites
1 whole egg

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

7. Stir in the chopped asparagus, mushrooms onions and garlic.

We love quiche at our house and asparagus is a favorite too. I make crustless quiche or a potato crust when I don’t feel like messing with pastry.

This looks delicious! I make a meatless quiche with diced chiles and cheese and it’s so flavorful. I’ll have to try this version, and also need to try the Trader Joe’s pie crusts. Thanks for the idea!
