This looks delicious! I’m sure my eyes are playing tricks on me, but looking at the picture of the finished quiche, it appears that the perfectly round green vegetables in the quiche might be green peas and yet they are not mentioned in the recipe. Am I mistaken or are they also included in the preparation? Thank you.
