Fresh, seasonal asparagus and hearty mushrooms make this rustic Asparagus Quiche recipe a delicious choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

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.

HINT: There is no shame in using a store bought pie crust to save time making this quiche. Just make sure you pre-bake it and allow it to cool before you fill it with the egg mixture.

FAQ

Why is my quiche watery?

Watery or soggy quiche usually occurs when it has been undercooked. We recommend using a thin aluminum or glass pie pan and increasing the oven temp if necessary. You can also pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes prior to filling it for better results.

Can I use a pre-made pie crust?

Absolutely. We do this a lot when we are crunched for time.
