About
This is by far one of my favorite things I've ever made. I love, love, LOVE roasted vegetables.
I could eat them three times a day I think! The first time I made this quiche I did a higher amount of vegetables and less custard. This time I used a little more restraint and I also made it to fit in a standard pie pan since some of you may not own a quiche pan. I used my favortie pie pan, which is a deep dish, but you could definetely use a standard pie pan, you just won't have that extra piece of crispy crust at the top.
