Reader recipe: Crustless asparagus quiche with lemon and parmesan

Kaye Hodge wrote that her quiche recipe is an absolute winner because it’s easy to prepare, the selected ingredients give it a twist and it is lower on calories and carbohydrates because it is crustless. Kaye, you are right, it is all of these things and our reader recipe of the month. It’s a tasty number that combines asparagus with three of its friends — parmesan, lemon and macadamia nuts. We loved it.

2 ½ cups	Asparagus, diced (Main)
