Making Spring Asparagus Quiche

I’ve used mini frozen pastry shells to create these individual quiches. You can find mini frozen pastry shells hanging out with the frozen fruit and cool whip (another tasty combo for a pastry shell!). Since asparagus is in season during the spring, it’s a great addition to the quiche, but you can add whatever veggies you prefer. You can tweak the recipe year-round to include seasonal veggies, like zucchini in the summer, or kale in the fall and winter months.

Asparagus naturally contains prebiotic fiber which nourishes good gut bacteria (a.k.a probiotics) to help maintain a healthy digestive tract. Way to be awesome, asparagus.

I added a little bit of chopped bacon because I wanted something a little salty to go along with my eggs but you could swap it out for turkey bacon or ham, or if you prefer a completely vegetarian option, use finely diced mushrooms instead.

Spring Asparagus Quiche

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 2 servings

Serving Size: 2 quiches

Ingredients

4 mini pastry shells, thawed per package directions

8 asparagus stalks

3 large eggs

1/4 cup 2% milk

1 green onion stalk, sliced thin

4 pieces bacon, cooked and chopped well (optional)

Black pepper

1. Preheat oven according to pastry shell directions and place shells on a baking sheet. Set aside.

2. Cut the top 2 inches from each of the asparagus stalks and set aside. The remaining asparagus sections will not be used in this recipe.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Add in green onion and bacon, if using, and black pepper.

4. Evenly divide egg mixture among pastry shells. Gently place two asparagus pieces on top of egg mixture for each quiche, forming an "X".

5. Bake for 15-20 mintues, or until egg is set in the middle of each quiche.

*To reheat: If the pastry shell is in an aluminum pan, remove it before placing in the microwave. Microwave quiche for 30 seconds and then enjoy!

Notes

If using other vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini, be sure to finely dice and mix into egg mixture before pouring into the pastry shells.
