"A deliciously different quiche. Best served straight from the oven. A light, lemon taste goes well with the broccoli and has great texture. From The Oaks Victorian Inn in Christiansburg, VA (right next to Virginia Tech!) I'm sure it could also be made crustless by pouring into a greased pie pan instead of the shell."

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
