Veggie Quiche with Walnut Crust

“This easy veggie quiche with a walnut crust is a delicious quiche recipe perfect for weekend brunch or even meal prep. The crust is made with walnuts, providing some extra protein (4g/oz) and good fats (like 2.5g/oz of omega-3 ALA).” – Erin Morrissey, Erin Lives Whole
