Notes
- Make sure your butter is cold and chop into small cubes before mixing into the flour mixture.
- Don't over mix the crust dough. You want small pieces of butter and shortening throughout. This will help give the crust a light and flaky texture.
- If you have thicker spears of asparagus, cut them in half lengthwise to make thinner spears.
- Make sure to dry your chives and asparagus well after washing to help prevent too much liquid and a soggy quiche.
