Ingredients
- Asparagus - 1 bunch washed and ends trimmed off
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic minced (1-2 clove)
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 can 12 oz evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt , or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese or monterey jack shredded
- ½ cup feta crumbled
- 1 9-inch par-baked pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375° F degrees.
- Wash and trim the asparagus, cut into ½ to 1 inch pieces.
- In a skillet, add olive oil, minced garlic and chopped asparagus spears. Sauté the spears and garlic for about 1 minute, but no more than 2 minutes. Don’t overcook the asparagus as you don’t want it to be soggy in the baked quiche.
- Take skillet off the heat and set the asparagus to the side to cool while you make the egg mixture.
- In a bowl, add eggs and whisk gently. Pour in evaporated milk, salt, pepper and onion powder. The eggs are whisk gently to keep from adding too much air into the mixture.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella, white cheddar and feta cheese. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the cooled asparagus.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the pie crust, pouring from the center. Egg mixture should come just up to the edge of your pie crust.
- Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spillage.
- Bake the quiche in the center of the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Quiche is done when the sides are set and the center is nearly set. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into and serving.
- Top with chopped chives or green onions, if you wish before serving.
