Cup of Yum
Pie Crust:
- Place the first 3 ingredients in a food processor and pulse.
- Add cold butter and using on/off turns, process until coarse meals forms.
- Add the water 1 tbsp at a time and process until moist clumps form, adding more water 1 tsp at a time if mixture is dry.
- Form dough into a disk, wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until cold.
Notes
- Don't want to make fresh pie dough? No worries! You can buy a prepared pie dough at the grocery store and this recipe will turn out just as delicious!
- Don't have asparagus? If you don't have asparagus on hand (or if it's just not your jam) you can substitute any of your favorite veggies in this quiche! Try mushrooms, pepper, zucchini or even broccoli!
- Don't eat pork? You can substitute turkey deli meat if you're not a big fan of ham! Or you could leave out the meat entirely and just add some extra vegetables!
