Lovely asparagus peeks out of every slice of this hearty quiche, which is delicious and a little different. I like to make it for special occasions-it's a welcome addition to any brunch buffet. -Suzanne McKinley, Lyons, Georgia

Overall, this was a good quiche recipe. I would make a few adjustments next time, but it was still a tasty and satisfying meal.

This quiche was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I will use less eggs next time.

The crust on this quiche was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I will roll it out thinner next time.

This quiche was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of salt in the next one I make.

I added some chopped red onion to this quiche, and it was delicious! I also used a pre-made pie crust, which made it even easier to make.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. It's also a great make-ahead meal, which is perfect for busy weeknights.

This quiche was absolutely delicious! The asparagus and bacon were a perfect combination, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.
