Print Recipe

Quiche is a French-inspired savory tart that features a flaky pastry crust filled with a creamy egg custard. Ina Garten’s version focuses on fresh ingredients and balanced flavors, allowing the asparagus to shine without overpowering the dish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade pastry crust

For the filling:

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • 1 cup grated Gruyère or cheddar cheese

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust: Place the pie crust into a pie dish and press it gently into the edges.

  • Prebake the crust: Bake the crust at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.

  • Cook the asparagus: Heat olive oil in a pan and lightly sauté the asparagus for a few minutes until slightly tender.

  • Prepare the custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  • Add cheese and asparagus: Spread the asparagus and grated cheese evenly over the crust.

  • Pour the filling: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese.

  • Bake the quiche: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes until the center is set.

  • Check doneness: The center should be firm but slightly soft when touched.

  • Cool slightly: Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

  • Serve warm or at room temperature: Enjoy with a fresh side salad or soup.
