Today we're rolling up our sleeves to make this Quinoa Crust Quiche, a different and wholesome way to enjoy one of our favorite savory pies. We combine a quinoa and cheese base with a tender green asparagus filling that breaks us out of the routine and gives us a dish bursting with flavor to share.
