The Best Asparagus Quiche Recipe
Description
This quiche begins with a rolled pie crust that is blind-baked to create a crisp base. The filling combines fresh chopped asparagus with feta and mozzarella cheeses, providing a mix of tangy and mild creamy flavors. Eggs whisked with heavy cream form the custard that holds the ingredients together, seasoned simply with salt and pepper to highlight the asparagus.
After adding the custard to the crust and vegetables, the quiche is baked at 400°F until the filling is firm to the touch and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The result is a smooth, creamy textured quiche showcasing tender asparagus with a cheesy finish.
The quiche can be served warm or at room temperature as a brunch, lunch, or light dinner option. It pairs well with fresh salad greens or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 1/2 cups asparagus chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 3 egg
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
Instructions
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pie crust. Transfer the crust into a pie pan (8-9 inches wide and 2 inches deep). Trim off the excess edges hanging off the side of the pie pan.
- Cover the crust with parchment paper. Fill it with rice or peas to hold the pie crust down. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Remove the pie crust from the oven, let it cool down, and remove the rice or peas.
- Fill the crust with chopped asparagus, feta, and mozzarella cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the filled pie crust.
- Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy!
