I make this quiche since long time ago, it was created after I realised I liked quiche concept but not much the “eggy” taste, so I created my own that was being developed over the years. My first version contained schrimps, the second version just tons of mozzarella, now it tastes equally good but cruelty free 😉 You can make your own dough (recipe here) or just buy a vegan option.
