Tortilla Crusted Goat Cheese and Asparagus Quiche

 Oh my, it was delicious. And ever so easy!  First you cook some asparagus in salt water until just tender. Then rinse it off with water and set it aside. Wipe out the pan, you'll need it again.
 Line a pie plate with 4 wheat tortillas. No need to grease it.
 Oh, I forgot to photograph the cooking of the onions and mushrooms in olive oil. But you have seen that sort of thing before. Mix in the asparagus, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the cheese over it.
 Whisk the eggs, and then add the yogurt.
  Pour it into the shell.
Bake, or in my case, bake a little too long! 
The tortilla was the weak link. No one but me liked it for a crust. It seems like this would be quite delicious in a pie crust or even just in ramekins. The innards were magnificent tasting!


Thanks to Rachel Ray for this one!
