Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust Pie Crust Store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 small Yellow Onion, chopped
- 12 ounces Asparagus tips, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 large Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella
- ½ cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- to taste Salt and Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and asparagus tips. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still bright green. Season with salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Then, add the milk and heavy cream, whisking until creamy. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and gruyere cheese.
- Once the vegetable mixture has cooled, add it to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Carefully pour the filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a flaky crust, handle the pie crust as little as possible. Feel free to mix and match the cheeses or add more vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
