We enjoy a good Quiche every once in a while and this one turned out great. Lyn grabbed some roasted vegetables and added to this but topping off with some freshly roasted red bell pepper to me was one of the best tastes to this make it again dish. Lyn likes her cauliflower cake better and someday I’ll be there when she makes it so I too .

CRUST:

• 2 cups cooked quinoa, chilled – Lyn used red quinoa thought it would look better
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
