Quiche is a french tart made with pastry crust and filled with savoury custard containg meat, cheese, vegetables, even sea food. It can be served hot or cold and what I like about it the most is that I can make many combinations and get delicious results. When is asparagus season, I like to make this asparagus and spinach quiche with a lot of cheese. The recipe is simple and it can be a very good lunch.
