1.26.21 Recipe: Quinoa Quiche

I’ve been on the lookout for fun ways to use eggs lately! Since Matthew and I don’t eat eggs every day, they add up quickly. Our three little ladies haven’t laid every day this winter but we get 1-3 eggs a day.

My quiches tend to be a little ‘clean out the fridge’ but I was impressed with this combination and thought I’d pass this hearty quiche recipe along!
