Whole food crust, whole food insides, it's just whole food goodness. Rolled oats and wholemeal flour make up most of the quiche crust, modified from the complete flour version found here. Blind-baking sets the pastry to be lovely and crispy by the time the quiche is done and gives the perfect amount of time to prep the filling, which by the way, it totally flexible to what you have in your fridge!
