Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the asparagus, mushrooms and onions, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Wrap the tomatillos and chiles in aluminum foil and place over an open flame for about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a blender with the garlic clove and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp dishcloth and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
- Fill each tortilla with a little jack cheese and about 1 tablespoon asparagus filling. Fold in half like a taco.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pan-fry the folded quesadillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on paper towels to drain any oil.
- Serve each quesadilla with some goat cheese crumbled on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.
CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM AND GRUYERE QUICHE WITH OAT CRUST
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
- To prepare the crust, put the oats, flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 3 times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, until you get a pebbly course texture. Add the buttermilk and pulse 3 to 5 times more to combine. Form the mixture into a ball and place it between 2 large pieces of waxed paper. Roll out into a circle about 10 inches in diameter.
- Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Transfer the crust, still on the other piece of waxed paper to the pie dish, then remove the waxed paper from the top. Press the crust gently into the dish. Bake for 9 minutes, then let cool.
- To prepare the filling, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their water and begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onions back to the pan, stir in the salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites and evaporated milk.
- Sprinkle the cheese into the pie crust. Top with the mushroom-onion mixture and pour the egg mixture on top. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into 6 wedges and serving.

Steps:

Using another large shallow baking pan, toss asparagus with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and salt and pepper to taste until coated well.

ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLAS
From All Recipes. This one is for me! I never would have thought of putting cilantro with goat cheese. I made this when I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. Quick dinner with some fruit. I used plain goat cheese, but the herbed kind would have been even better. Yum!

MEDITERRANEAN GOAT CHEESE PIZZA
This is my version of a fabulous pizza I had at the Flatbread Pizza Company. It's one of my absolute favorites and I even make it on the grill when it gets too hot to turn on the oven in the summertime. It also makes a great appetizer if sliced into small pieces. Using the combination of the non stick foil and the oven rack ensures a crispy crust that wont get stuck to the pan.
