Author Notes
My mom's quiche was always one of our favorite dinners as kids. While the original recipe included scallions, I've adapted it to layer those flavors. I blend the greens into the base for freshness (and color!), saute the whites with the ham, and then add some of the chopped greens per the original recipe. The result is a good dinner but a spring quiche perfect for breakfast too. —Stephanie
