Asparagus & Mushroom Quiche

Asparagus and mushrooms add hearty, robust flavor to this simple dish. With just a bit of planning, you can whip the ingredients together and have a light (but satisfying) meal on the table in no time. Just like our Roasted Tomato Quiche and Five Cheese Soufflé, it's great as a weeknight dinner, Sunday brunch or light lunch. I like making our Asparagus Quiche on a Friday to enjoy it all weekend long.

🔪Top tip

There's no shame in using a store bought pie crust to save time. Just make sure you pre-bake it and allow it to cool before you fill it with the egg mixture.

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F and bake pie shell in pie pan for 10-12 minutes. When done, remove from oven and allow to cool while preparing filling.
  2. Heat butter in a large sauté pan. Add mushrooms and asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat. 
  3. Remove from heat and prepare egg mixture by whisking eggs with milk and cream. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper. Whisk together.
  4. Place cheese in bottom of pie crust. Add vegetables, then place the pie shell on a baking sheet and place on middle rack of oven. 
  5. Slowly pour egg mixture over vegetables, be careful not to overflow pie shell. 
  6. Top with green onions and reduce heat to 325°F. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until lightly browned and firm.
  7. Remove from oven.
  8. Allow top cool for 10 minutes before slicing

FAQ

What is the best way to prepare asparagus for quiche?

Blanch or sauté asparagus before adding it to quiche to keep it tender but not mushy. This also brings out its bright, fresh flavor.

Can I make asparagus quiche ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake it a day ahead, then reheat it in the oven before serving. It also tastes great served at room temperature.

How do you keep quiche from getting soggy on the bottom?

Blind bake the crust before adding the filling, and avoid overly wet ingredients. This keeps your asparagus quiche perfectly crisp.

Can I use frozen asparagus in quiche?

Absolutely—just thaw and pat it dry before using. Fresh asparagus gives the best texture, but frozen works in a pinch.

What cheese goes well with asparagus quiche?

Monterey Jack cheese, parmesan, gruyère, fontina, or goat cheese all pair beautifully with asparagus. Choose your favorite or mix and match!
