    Asparagus quiches

    Asparagus

    Asparagus is one spring vegetable that I like very much during Spring / Summer and I wanted to create a dish that includes the fresh asparagus I bought. You can always just cook the asparagus in boiling water for a few minutes or you can broil it in the oven and munch on it. But this time, I wanted something that is more focused on dinner than a healthy snack.

    I’m considering this my last "complicated" recipe before Summer is officially here and I can't even think about turning the oven on when it’s so hot out! But who knows, maybe I will share some complicated recipes over summer. Now let’s get to it, here is the recipe for this delicious asparagus quiche that you must try!

    Ingredients and Proccess

    The great thing about this asparagus quiche is that you use fresh asparagus, there is no need to precook it before adding it inside the quiche filling. For the filling, I used cream, egg, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper. You can change the mozzarella to a different hard cheese as well. This filling is pretty classic and works with any vegetable as well (like broccoli) if you can't find asparagus or want to use something else. The crust of the quiche is also a very basic, savory crust and this recipe is my family favorite.

    The asparagus decorates the quiche in a nice way and you can even make nice patterns on the quiche with it. Whoever said that baking wasn’t an art form?!

    The recipe yields one 4x14 rectangular quiche and 2 small 6 inch quiches, however, you can also make it as one big quiche if you prefer.

    What to serve with quiche

    This quiche can be a great light dinner or lunch with a salad or soup.

    Quiche pairs wonderfully with a fresh mixed green salad, roasted or sautéed vegetables, and a vibrant fruit salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving it with potato dishes such as roasted potatoes or a light potato salad. Fresh bread or rolls make a perfect accompaniment, as do a cheese board. Light soups like tomato basil or vegetable, along with tangy pickles or olives, can also complement the flavors of the quiche. For beverages, a light white wine or sparkling water is ideal.

    FAQS

    Can I use store-bought crust instead of making my own?

    Yes, you can use a store-bought crust for convenience. However, making your own crust adds a personal touch and a richer, homemade flavor.

    Can I substitute the mozzarella cheese with another type of cheese?

    Absolutely! Cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese are great alternatives that will provide different flavor profiles.

    Can I add other vegetables to the filling?

    Yes, feel free to customize your quiche with other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

    What kind of asparagus should I use?

    Fresh asparagus is best for this recipe. Look for firm, bright green stalks with closed tips.

    Can I make this quiche without a blender or food processor?

    Yes, you can make the dough by hand using a pastry cutter or fork to blend the butter into the flour until crumbly, then mix in the egg and water.

    Can I make the quiche ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. After baking, let it cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat in the oven before serving.

    Is it necessary to freeze the crust before baking?

    Freezing the crust helps prevent it from shrinking during baking. It’s an extra step that ensures a perfect, flaky crust.

    How do I know when the quiche is fully baked?

    The quiche is done when the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center. You can also insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

    How should I store leftover quiche?

    Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze quiche for up to 2 months; just make sure to wrap it well.
