Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this fabulous quiche:
  • - 6 large eggs
  • - 2 cups light cream
  • - 1/2 pound of fresh asparagus chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • - 1 cup of diced ham I prefer using smoked ham for added flavor
  • - 2 cups shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese
  • - 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • - 2 9-inch pie crusts store-bought or homemade
  • Adding green onions and opting for smoked ham really elevates the dish without overwhelming the classic flavors.

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This initial high temperature will help set the crust before lowering it for the rest of the cooking time.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
  1. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk, combine the eggs with 2 cups of light cream until smooth and blended.
Step 3: Mix in the Goodness
  1. Stir in the diced ham, chopped asparagus, shredded cheese, and green onions. Make sure everything is evenly mixed so every bite has a burst of flavor!
Step 4: Pour into Crusts
  1. Place your pie crusts on a foil-lined jelly roll pan. This makes transferring them in and out of the oven so much easier and keeps your oven nice and clean. Pour the ham and asparagus mixture evenly between the two crusts.
Step 5: Bake at High Heat
  1. Bake the quiches in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This high heat will help the crust to begin browning and crisping.
Step 6: Lower the Temperature
  1. After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for another 25 minutes, or until the center is set. You can test this by inserting a butter knife into the quiche; it should come out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Slice
  1. Allow the quiches to cool for about 15 minutes before cutting into them. This rest time helps them set up and makes slicing easier.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Plate your slices and don’t forget to enjoy every bite! This quiche pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or fresh fruit.

Notes

- Make it personal: Feel free to personalize your quiche with additional veggies or different meats.
- Crust options: If you're short on time, store-bought crusts work perfectly. But if you have a little extra time, try making your own for that homemade vibe.
- Herbs for flavor: Adding a pinch of dried thyme or fresh herbs can kick up the flavor profile.
- Bake in advance: You can make this quiche a day ahead; just reheat it in the oven before serving.
- Portion control: Cut your quiche into small slices for brunch buffets—everyone will want to try a piece!
