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.
