Delicious Asparagus and Bacon Quiche Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Gruyère or cheddar)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Reserve some bacon fat for flavoring if desired.
  3. Blanch the Asparagus

    In the same skillet, briefly cook the asparagus pieces in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.

    This helps retain the vibrant color and crunch.
  4. Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in the cooked bacon, asparagus, and shredded cheese.

    Ensure everything is well combined for even distribution.
  5. Prepare the Pie Crust

    Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and pour the filling mixture into the crust.

    Crimp the edges of the crust for a decorative touch.
  6. Bake the Quiche

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set and golden on top.

    Check for doneness with a knife inserted in the center.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
