Easy Cheesy Asparagus Quiche is a delicious tasty Spring time Quiche, perfect for lunch or dinner, serve with a salad and Dinner is served. Makes the perfect brunch idea too.

asparagus quiche/anitaliaininmykitchen.comCheesy Asparagus Quiche has become a delicious lunch time favourite in our house.

How long has it been since I made a Quiche? A long long time. To tell the truth I think I got scared of serving my family another Quiche.

I sometimes get carried away when I cook or bake, when I make something that goes over really really well I tend to make it and make it and make it, although I have been trying to control myself these last few years.

This was the case with Quiche. Maybe because Quiche brings back good memories of my life in Canada. I used to order Quiche and a salad and I still love that combination.

The other day when I was doing my grocery shopping I noticed the arrival of asparagus.

I love seeing asparagus at the grocery shop,  it also means we are getting closer to spring. And I can just imagine how many of you just can’t wait for that, with the cold and snowy winter that you were forced to bear, a little bit of spring will be a warm welcome.

    This Asparagus Quiche made with a flaky pie dough (I purchased a pre-made pie dough) filled with steamed asparagus , some creamy Gruyere cheese, eggs, cream and milk.

    A perfect weekend lunch idea and oh don’t forget a simple tossed salad.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 14 asparagus stalks
    • 4 eggs
    • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon shredded gruyere cheese
    • 1 1/2 cups whole cream
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
    • 1 pre-made pie crust unbaked

    Instructions
     

    • Pre-heat oven to 350° (180 celsius)
    • TO CLEAN THE ASPARAGUS
    • If you buy really thick asparagus then you might want to peel the outside woody part with a potato peeler. Snap off the tough base of each spear, this is usually around the bottom third
    • of the spear, where the stem starts to turn tender. Keep only the tender part. Chop into 1/4 inch (3/4 centimeter) sizes. Boil or steam for approximately 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
    • In a 10 inch (26 centimeter) pie plate, place the pre made (or homemade) pie pastry, brush with melted butter, and spread the steamed asparagus on top.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk and salt, stir in grated cheese.
    • Pour mixture over the asparagus.
    • Bake for 15 minutes then turn oven down to 325° (160° celsius) and bake approximately 30 minutes more. Quiche will be cooked when a knife inserted comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

        When you say whole cream, as in whipping cream? All I ever see is half and half.

          Hi Gail, sometimes it can be called heavy, whole or whipping cream as long as it has at least 30% fat content. Hope that helps.

        Delicious, gentle flavor. I added a quarter of onion. I baked according to directions +10 minutes. Wish I’d let in for 10 more. I actually used a standard 10 inch dish. I ended up baking extra mixture in small casserole. It was delicious! Like a small soufflé!

        I love quiche! This looks so good…asparagus is one of my favorite veggies. I’ve never used Gruyere cheese in my quiche…definitely making this. Friday is always pizza night at my house too… But I’m sure it’s not as good as yours, lol

        It sounds wonderful and I love asparagus. To tell you the truth I’d eat eggs every single day. Eggs to me make a complete meal. Frankly I think eggs have gotten a bad wrap and the eggs we bought in Italy were wonderful. They had such beautiful yolks — makes the eggs we by here look anemic. Grazie per la ricetta.
