Sunday Brunch Roasted Veggie Tart

A complete deviation from vintage, but I have to brag on Isaac!  Not only is he the most wonderful partner in life and business, he is an absolutely astounding cook.  Here is what he whipped up for my Sunday brunch this past weekend with some random items from the pantry and fridge.  Just for me, he made this quiche/tart with a super thin crust and went heavy on the veggies and light on the eggs. Yummie!
