Crustless Green Peas and Goat Quiche Recipe

Crustless green peas and goat quiche is very famous is north African countries. The meat and eggs are almost always a requirement for any type of quiche unless it is a meatless grilled salad quiche. I often tweak this recipe and substitute the green peas with boiled chickpeas which gives totally a different uniquely delicious flavor. Here is today's recipe!
