"Interesting take on quiche as it uses refrigerated cornbread twist dough as the base for this spicy southwestern veggie quiche. Recipe is from Cooking Light Magazine."

This is terrific! I couldn't find those cornbread twists so I made some cornbread (from the recipe on the cornmeal box) and just added enough extra flour to make a dough that was similar in texture to the twists. Loved the filling, great with the broccoli and you could probably sub other veggies as well. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
