Green Quiche

 This is an accidental recipe.  I was going to make a chicken dish and then saw radishes in the refrigerator and remembered that I had seen a radish green and avocado quiche recipe.  Well, I don't know anything about avocados and the avocado I had wasn't ripe, which is important, as I later discovered.  And, I had already gotten out some green beans to cook with the chicken.

So, I cut the radish greens into small pieces and the green beans into short (1/4" to 1/2") lengths.  And, then I tried to cut up the avocado.  I finally ended up cutting it up into bite-size pieces.  (But, I'm sure that the recipe will work as well or even better with ripe avocado.)

I also don't care for quiche shells.  I'd rather just put the ingredients into a plain pan.  I didn't flour the pan - which I never do when making this type of dish.

Here's the recipe:
