Crustless Asparagus Quiche
Description
This quiche starts by sautéing onions, asparagus, and sliced mushrooms in butter and olive oil until softened and lightly tender. Fresh thyme is added for aromatic depth. Beaten eggs are mixed with grated Jarlsberg cheese, fresh thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, creating a richly flavored custard base. The sautéed vegetables are folded in, then the mixture is poured into a greased pie dish and baked at 350°F. The quiche bakes for about 30 minutes until the center is firm, and edges develop a golden-brown hue.
The final dish has a creamy, soft texture punctuated by tender vegetable pieces with a mild savory profile from the cheese and spices. It’s a versatile dish suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, served warm or at room temperature.
If a standard 9-inch pie dish is used instead of a deep one, extra filling may be baked separately in ramekins. This quiche is quite flexible with the vegetable ingredients and cheese.
