When the first green crowns of asparagus poke out of the earth, you know it's spring! This quiche is delicious vegetarian style, or with Organic Prairie Ham or Bacon.
Ingredients
- 3⁄4 pound fresh asparagus, cut in 1 inch pieces
- 6 ounces Organic Prairie Hardwood Smoked Sliced Ham, diced or 1/2 cup cubed ham
- 1 cup grated Organic Valley Baby Swiss Cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 Organic Valley extra large Brown Eggs
- 1 cup Organic Valley Half & Half
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Organic Valley Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1 pie shell (homemade or frozen)
Directions
Trim the asparagus, using the tender parts for the quiche, and saving the tougher stems for soup. Cook or steam asparagus until crisp-tender; drain well. Arrange cooked asparagus pieces over bottom of pastry shell. Top with diced ham.
In a small bowl, combine Swiss cheese and flour. Sprinkle over ham.
In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a fork until frothy. Add half & half, salt, and pepper. Mix well and pour into pastry shell.
Sprinkle Organic Valley Parmesan Cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Quiche is done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Notes
For vegetarians: Leave out the ham and add more asparagus, or substitute 1/2 cup cubed tofu.
For meat eaters: Try leftover Organic Prairie Bacon as an alternative to the ham.
