Goat Cheese-Asparagus Crustless Quiche image

From Vegetarian Times. We haven't tried this yet because we're on a diet, but I'm looking forward to trying it. Prep and cooking times are total guesses on my part. If you make this, please let me know how long it took you. Thanks! From the website: "For a pretty presentation, reserve a few asparagus tips to steam and use as a garnish for this quick supper dish. Fresh out of asparagus? Substitute broccoli florets."
