Ingredients
- 1 ready-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Add in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder if you’re using them. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the asparagus pieces evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the asparagus.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese and asparagus, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape and make for easier slicing.
