Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (unbaked) deep dish
- 3/4 cup light cream (can substitute whole milk or half-and-half)
- 1 cup Gouda cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup onion diced
- 1/2 cup asparagus chopped finely
- 1 bunch asparagus spears (for top garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick bottom of pie crust with a fork and bake for 12 minutes. Remove crust from oven and aside to prepare filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together light cream, Gouda, mozzarella, eggs, ground mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Gently stir in the chopped asparagus and onion into the egg mixture.
- Pour the filling into pie crust. If adding asparagus spears on top, trim off the tough ends and arrange asparagus spears around the top to decorate (optional).
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the quiche top is lightly golden and quiche is set (not jiggling when moved). If crust edges brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil while baking.
- Remove from oven and allow quiche to cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or room temperature.
