ASPARAGUS & CORN QUICHE

Asparagus & Corn Quiche image

My mom loves quiche, so for Mother's Day one year I created my own quiche recipe for her. I've been making it ever since. All it takes is a trip to the farmers market. If you have the ingredients, make the crust from scratch. -Yanique Douglas, Waynesboro, Pennsylvania
