Quiche with Eggplants
Description
If your household is full of meat lovers, just add some browned ground meat to the filling. But in general, this recipe has a very successful dough and a delicious creamy cheese topping on its own, which will work with any filling. No eggplants? Simply replace them with mushrooms, fish, or any other vegetables to your taste. I’m sure it will turn out just as good.
