Garden Vegetable Quiche

I've posted multiple quiches as I love them, but this one is always a hit! It's full of veggies, which helps fill those up with a larger appetite. Since I love quiches so much, I thought I'd recommend my favorite quiche served up in Seattle's restaurant scene. It's the quiche du jour at Cafe Campagne. They do an amazing job of keeping it light with amazingly flaky crust (like this recipe has). Maybe you'll make this for a Holiday brunch? Christmas and New Years is, after all, just around the corner! Enjoy!
