Roasted Asparagus and Tomato Quiche

Karolina Longoria
This quiche filling is reminiscent of a French custard similar to the way Julia Childs made her Quiche Lorriane, a French Classic. Then when you add the roasted asparagus, tomatoes and goat cheese, it becomes the perfect quiche with the perfect bite
