Green Asparagus Quiche Recipe
A delicious recipe for a vegetarian green asparagus quiche, flavored with thyme and cheese.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 quiche crust prepared according to recipe
- 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 500 grams green asparagus washed and woody ends removed
- 4 eggs
- 200 grams crème fraîche
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 150 grams grated cheese
Equipment
- 9-10 inch quiche pan (24 cm)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough according to the recipe. While it rests in the refrigerator, prepare the filling.
- Blanch the cleaned green asparagus for a few minutes. Drain and let them dry well.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, crème fraîche, salt, and pepper. Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and mix them into the crème fraîche mixture. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough and line the pan with it. Prick the bottom with a fork and sprinkle breadcrumbs over the base.
- Arrange the asparagus in two layers, trying to place them as neatly next to each other as possible so each slice is generously filled with asparagus.
- Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes at 400°F/200°C (conventional oven) until cooked through and golden brown.
- Serve with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup, if desired.
How to store
If you don’t serve the quiche right away, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Wrapped well (or stored per slice), it can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat for 15-20 minutes at 350°F/180°C (conventional oven).
