Happy Easter! I actually don’t celebrate the holiday but I am a sucker for bunny rabbits and anything with eggs. Decided to make something healthy and light for lunch and voila a shiitake mushroom and baby bok choy quiche. It’s even (gasp) vegetarian! Light and savory and suitable for any meal of the day.

Pro tip: If you like a little more crunch in your quiche, I recommend using regular bok choy, which has a higher stalk to leaf ratio. I personally prefer the taste and flavor of the leaves so I went for some baby bok choy instead. Experiment and let me know how it goes!
