BasketWeave Asparagus Quiche
This show-stopping quiche uses fresh, seasonal asparagus and vegan cheese for a healthy beautiful dish. Don’t worry, if you don’t have time to weave the top you can still make the quiche. You can also use dairy cheese although I used vegan mozzarella and vegan parmesan.
