Healthy clean eating asparagus quiche

28 Apr Healthy clean eating asparagus quiche

This healthy clean eating asparagus quiche was a brilliant experiment. The delicious filling and crispy crust ticked all the quiche boxes.

Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good quiche. The problem is that they are usually loaded with carbs and fat. This low carb clean eating asparagus quiche is a wonderful take on a regular quiche. To be honest nobody even commented on the fact that it tasted different.

I absolutely love trying out new dishes and recipes. The only issue with this is that you do sometimes end up with a monumental flop. This was not the case with this healthy clean eating asparagus quiche. It was a resounding success on the first try. You really should give this one a try!

I have lots of other clean eating vegetarian dishes on my blog. Feel free have a look through them and let me know what you think. This  Green lentil Rogan Josh curry , this healthy, low carb spinach, feta and olive quiche  and these quick and easy vegetarian sushi burgers  are a few of my favourite recipes. I also have lots of non-vegetarian recipes for you to browse through.

One of the most wonderful food bloggers goes by the name of Rabbit and wolves. Wow, are her recipes creative!
