THREE CHEESE ASPARAGUS QUICHE
This Three Cheese Asparagus Quiche is bound to get your spring-time taste buds watering!
I don’t know about you, but I have a (possibly) unhealthy obsession with all things egg-y and buttery. Hence quiche is something that I love, love, love to make.
Add in some delicious spring asparagus, some chives, and 3 varieties of cheese, and you have one happy camper in The Gourmet Gourmand kitchen.This quiche recipe includes a recipe for the home-made crust, but if you find yourself short on time, you can definitely substitute with a pre-made pie crust.
The filling for quiches can really be anything. Having a solid recipe for a basic egg-custard filling is a great place to start, and then you can pile on lots of different ingredients and toppings.
For a standard pie-tin size, I found that a 6 egg to 1 and 3/4 cups of dairy was the sweet spot for the filling. This ratio creates a light, fluffy, and custard-like filling that just holds together the remaining ingredients.
The asparagus I chose was skinny spring-time asparagus, which worked well blanched and tossed into the quiche whole.
If you are using thicker asparagus, I might suggest chopping the asparagus into bite sized pieces for easier slicing and eating. Hope you all are having a wonderful start to your week!
