Crustless Asparagus & Green Chili Quiche

Our family does not eat refined carbohydrates, so I needed to create a quiche without the crust. We love asparagus and green chilies, so that's where my inspiration came from for this recipe. It's super easy to throw together, and I guarantee it will be a hit at any brunch you host. Based on the request of my best friend, here is today's recipe. Cheers!

Try it out with spinach and mushrooms too!
Follow the recipe above, but switch out your ingredients for onion, spinach (2 cups uncooked), mushrooms (1 cup), and Swiss cheese. Roughly chop the fresh spinach, and saute onion, spinach, and mushrooms in a little olive oil for 5-10 minutes until all ingredients are soft. Drain, set aside, and let cool before adding it to the egg mixture.
