Ramp Quiche

Recipesfull introduces to you: Quiche Recipes. (Ramp Quiche). This recipe calls for ramps leaves only, which is the sustainable way of harvesting ramps (the bulbs take many years to grow back). Also, the pie crust is low fat and very easy to roll out - it's my take on a popular German pie crust called Quark-Ölteig (quark oil pie crust). I always use Greek yogurt instead of quark and it works great as a substitute.
