This post may contain affiliate links.

asparagus quicheAsparagus Quiche is a delicious entree that is perfect for every meal.  For lunch or dinner, a crisp green salad with vinaigrette dressing is the perfect side.  It is also great for brunch.

Asparagus Quiche is easy and quick to put together, especially if you use a prepared pie crust.  It can be frozen before or after cooking and reheats well in the oven.

Where is quiche originally from?

The original dish, Quiche Lorraine, comes from the Lorraine region of France.  It traditionally uses bacon or ham.  We prefer a vegetarian version.

Do I have to use asparagus?

No, another well-loved version is mushroom and onion quiche, or you can also use 1 cup of steamed spinach.  Plain quiche is also delicious.

Should I cook the vegetables before baking the quiche?

Yes.  In this recipe we parboil the asparagus before adding it to the other ingredients.  For mushroom and onion quiche, stir-fry the sliced vegetables until the mushrooms release their liquid and the onions are soft.
