I recently received Kohlabri in one of my Field Good's deliveries. Sure I thought, that is a pretty cool looking vegetable, but what on earth was I going to do with Kohlabri?! I did some searching and found a few recipes, but none that appealed to me at that very moment. Then I read that Kohlabri was similar to broccoli. That is when this quiche was born.

When my family was young I always made quiche, but in later years I've shied away, mainly because of using so many eggs. Your quiche looks beautiful and I like that you only use 2 eggs in your recipe. It's funny that when I saw that you used Kohlabri I immediately thought of my mom, she always made kohlabri when we were growing up. Thanks for sharing your recipe, which I can't wait to try. I've pinned and shared.
