Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought pie crust
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus pieces and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Spread the asparagus and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the partially baked pie crust. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese on top.
- Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and goat cheese, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche has a rich history dating back to medieval times when quiche first originated in Germany. Over time, this savory dish made its way to France, where it became a staple of French cuisine. The combination of fresh asparagus and creamy goat cheese creates a delightful flavor profile that has made this quiche a beloved choice for brunch or a light lunch. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized this dish through their cookbooks and television shows, showcasing the elegance and versatility of the Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche. Today, this delectable quiche can be found in upscale bistros and quaint cafes across France and the United States. For the best version of this dish, sourcing fresh asparagus and high-quality goat cheese is essential. The key lies in achieving the perfect balance of flavors and textures, with the asparagus adding a subtle crunch and earthy sweetness, complementing the creamy tang of the goat cheese. Alternatively, some chefs incorporate caramelized onions or sun-dried tomatoes to add depth to the quiche. One famous alternative method for making this dish is to use a buttery puff pastry crust instead of the traditional pie crust, adding an extra layer of indulgence to the quiche.
