Ham and Asparagus Quiche

I just love the spring time when everything is so fresh and there is a feeling of renewal and hope. We spend a great deal of our time in the garden and yard and we love to have our morning coffee and breakfast or brunch on the patio. It is so peaceful to sit and have a quiet time together and watch the birds playing in the bird bath. This is a great dish to have on the patio for a great brunch.

    Hi, Miz Helen --

    What a beautiful quiche! I love everything in it, too, and it's all gluten-free (my need) except for the crust, which I can substitute with a g.f. crust. Or, I could just make it crustless so it would be both g.f. and low-carb. That would still be good enough to enjoy on the patio or deck!

    Hugs,
    Pat
