A great quiche that's packed with bits of a variety of fresh summer vegetables, whatever's on hand. The eggs are sweetened with fresh corn, the quiche's crust is thin layers of potato, really good and crispy like good hashed browns.

This Crustless Quiche is excellent, but y'know, some times you miss having a quiche crust!
Enter the potato crust. It's healthy – and uses the potatoes which have been in the last two CSA deliveries!
