Asparagus Quiche  

Posted by: anna* in , , ,

It's been quite a while. Sorry. These past month were really busy and I had more downs than ups. But this semester promises to be...well, a little less work and a bit more fun. Also the work I have is not concentrated in the one last week of the semester only. It´s looking good. Wish me luck.
Good news: I have a new phone with internetaccess and all now so I can post here more. Yay. And I've cooked a lot so I actually have stuff to post.
Another piece of bad news: Until I get a new DSLR we´ll have to make do with the pics my phone camera takes. Sorry...
Just now I made myself a lovely asparagus quiche. I just felt like it.


Ingredients:
Asparagus( I used about 500gr)
4 eggs
A splash of heavy cream
Salt&Pepper
Bacon
Peas

It´s as easy as it gets. I used the same dough I use for apple pie since it´s not sweet and not much more than water, egg and flour so check out the recipe here.


A little tip: make sure the dough goes up the sides of that cake pan (or tarte pan, whatever you use).
Because it´s such a hassle to get pretty much anything that´s not super fatty out of a cake pan I used parchment paper. It also keeps things cleaner.

I then cooked the asparagus (green and white because I couldn`t decide). Looking back I should have cut it into smaller pieces...




I mixed the eggs with salt and pepper and some bacon cubes added some cream (or cream substitute with less fat, good for people like me who can´t really process fat), then added the asparagus.

Pour everything onto the dough, put a little cheese on top, put the whole thing into the oven for about 40mins at 180°C and voila!





Fancy-sounding asparagus quiche.
It tasted as good warm as it did the next day cold. And the day after that. Having a whole quiche to yourself keeps you fed for three days! Even though my friend the Bieberle also ate some. And liked it. ^^
