Instructions
-
Blanch the Asparagus: Start by blanching the asparagus spears in boiling water for 90 seconds. Once done, refresh them in cold water and cut into halves; set aside for later use.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend together the eggs, sour cream, gruyere cheese, garlic, and fresh tarragon until smooth. Gently fold in the blanched asparagus, and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Assemble the Quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared 9-inch deep dish pie shell, ensuring an even distribution of the asparagus throughout.
-
Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 minutes. After this initial baking time, remove it from the oven.
-
Add Toppings: Top the quiche with julienned red pepper for added color and flavor, then return it to the oven to bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy this scrumptious dish with your favorite side salad or fresh bread.
This Asparagus Quiche makes for a wonderful centerpiece at your brunch table and is a fantastic way to enjoy seasonal vegetables. Enjoy!
