Make this comforting, cheesy asparagus quiche using a store-bought pie crust for an easy spring brunch main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store bought is fine)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and onion. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid.
  3. Spread the cooked asparagus and onion evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese and goat cheese over the vegetables.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese and vegetables in the pie crust.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sauté a clove of minced garlic with the onions and asparagus.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and milk.
  • This cheesy asparagus quiche is wonderful served warm or at room temperature for your cake picnic.
