Full of Veg Crustless Quiche - Family Favourites

Now that the hot weather and summer has arrived we long for lighter meals. Quiche is great for summer but as we all know pastry is not great for us and contains a lot of fat. But you can still enjoy quiche without the pastry! 

This week for my Family Favourites recipe I thought I would share my crustless quiche recipe. This is a great meal to cook if you need to use some eggs up. Now that we have three chickens we have an abundance of eggs so this really is a great meal! It is also great of you grow your own vegetables!

Not only is this an easy summer meal to make but is also full of vegetables and goodness.

This is what I did...
