Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C.
- If making your own crust, pre-cook the base as you would normally. (See link to other quiche recipe for my favorite version, which includes pre-cooking instructions.)
- Dice the onion, warm the oil in a medium skillet over a medium heat then cook the onion until soft and lightly browned. Set aside.
- Trim the ends off the asparagus and break or cut the stems in half.
- Once the base is pre-cooked, put the cooked onions across the bottom of the crust. Arrange the asparagus on top - I put a layer of the lower stem then a layer of the top since you will see the top ones, arranged in a circle, but as you find easiest.
- Put the tomatoes in between gaps in the asparagus so they are spread across the quiche. Sprinkle the gruyere over the top.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk and a little salt and pepper. Carefully pour the mixture over the filling. Top with a little parmesan then bake for approx 30 minutes until set and lightly browned on top.
Notes
- Note: I use and highly recommend this quiche Lorraine recipe for a tasty homemade crust (that's part whole wheat), but nutritional info calculated with a regular shortcrust pastry crust.
