The smoky bacon complements the fresh asparagus beautifully, while the custard brings everything together with rich, creamy texture. A buttery crust provides the perfect foundation.
This quiche works for any occasion: brunch buffets, light dinners, or picnic baskets. Serve it warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad.
Baking Tips
- Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom
- Blanch asparagus briefly to set the bright green color
- Cook bacon until crispy and drain well to avoid greasy filling
