Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 eggs
½ cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon salt
ground white pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon green (mild) hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 cups diced cooked rotisserie chicken
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
3 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
¼ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover pan and bring the water to a boil. Place 1 pound of asparagus into the steamer insert, cover, and steam until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain asparagus and set aside.
  • Beat eggs, half-and-half, parsley, salt, white pepper, and green hot sauce in a bowl until smooth.
  • Stir together cooked chicken, Swiss cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, mushrooms, and green onions in a bowl; mix in flour.
  • Line a 9-inch pie dish with pie crust.
  • Spread about half of the cooked asparagus over the bottom of the crust.
  • Spread about half of the chicken mixture over the asparagus.
  • Repeat layers of asparagus and chicken mixture.
  • Gently pour the egg mixture over the layers.
  • Arrange 3 asparagus spears decoratively on top of the quiche.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is slightly puffed and lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Sprinkle quiche with cherry tomatoes, if desired.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quiche turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it.

The asparagus chicken quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
