Ingredients

– 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyère)

– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

Creating the perfect Spinach Asparagus Quiche is simple when following these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Pierce the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
3. Pre-bake the Crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until it’s lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Then stir in the chopped spinach, cooking until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
6. Combine: Stir in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
7. Pour Mixture into Crust: Carefully pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring even distribution.
8. Bake: Return the quiche to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
9. Cool: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
10. Garnish: Optional – Top with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.

These straightforward steps allow you to create a beautifully seamless quiche that celebrates the flavors of spring.
