Reviews
I added some Italian seasoning along with the nutmeg, salt and pepper. yum!
Absolutely delicious quiche! Made it for a party of 6 on Mothers Day with a complimentary salad and everyone had seconds 🙂 !
I used chopped broccoli & bacon ( snip it before frying with scissors) & made my own pie crust ( cheaper). Wonderful spring addition to breakfast or luncheon!
I’ve made it several times but this last I used cremini mushrooms instead of bacon. Fried up the mushrooms and asparagus together worked out perfect. Frying has is the best way to go.
It was wonderful . Added some roasted red bell peppers because I love the taste and the color they add.
Huge hit at our house! I always make 2 because my Littles like this, and my Big’s, hubby, and I like it with a lot more flavor, a lot of extra veggies, and extra meats! Just add an extra egg, cubed ham and/or sausage *I use the brown and serve after frying them with the bacon. I add in broccoli, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. There are never any left overs and its very filling!
This is a go to good meal. Lots of flavor and you always want more.
Followed another review and used 1 lb asparagus, 5 slices of bacon, 4 eggs, 3/4 cup cream, 1/4 nutmeg, and 1 cup cheese. Easy and delicious.
I liked it and thought it was even better the next day. I used an extra egg because mine were not large sized. I swapped Swiss for provolone. I used a frozen puff pastry sheet instead of the pie crust shell. The asparagus was not overpowering, but I did use only the top half of very young asparagus.
Fun to make and fun to eat! I added scallions to this recipe. Do it. You’ll love it!
I halved the recipe to make one. Subbed finely chopped sage pork sausage for bacon, and cheddar instead of bacon. It’s in the oven. I’ll change rating if I don’t like the way it tastes.
Delicious!
Use diced ham and beat the yolk of the 5th egg with the other 4 and 3/4 milk and 3/4 heavy cream – delicious. Great just baked, leftovers OK for breakfast with cherry toms from the garden.
I happened to have Nueske’s Applewood Smoked bacon already cooked and in freezer and leftover asparagus. I also cut recipe in half sort of-used three eggs and before beating eggs dipped pastry brush in whites to prep crust.
Excellent variety of delicious quiche. Always with the greatest recipes. Thanks. Sue Santiago
Easy and came out great!
Have made with & without a crust. Easy & delicious. Don’t need to change a thing. This will be on our Easter breakfast menu.
Excellent! I roasted the asparagus, some red onion and garlic with olive oil-rather than just steaming the asparagus. (Someone else’s suggestion.)
delish! added a layer of sliced mushroom. Everyone loved it!
Used store bought pie crust. Shame on ME! But time is short. Used diced ham instead of bacon. Added diced red pepper for color. Very nice
Delicious! Even my son who says “real men don’t eat quiche” loved it. The only problem is that it’s time-consuming. Next time I will prep the cheese, bacon, & asparagus the day before so it doesn’t take so long
