"I found this wonderful recipe in one of the calendars put out every year by the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. It's a great way to use up cooked asparagus if you have any left from Sunday dinner."

Questions & Replies

  1. Does the asparagus have to be cooked first? It seems as though the baking would handle that...
     
  2. Hi, just wondering what I can substitute for dill that’s similar for this recipe. Thanks
     
  3. $27.04 per serving? That can't be right. Assuming you get 6 slices, the pie would cost $162.24!
     
  4. Do I prebake the crust?
     
  5. Is the nutrition info accurate for the Asparagus Cheddar Quiche Recipe for one individual serving? It seems to be way too high per serving!

Reviews

  1. This has become my go-to basic quiche recipe, it is so good! I use whatever ingredients I have on hand, not just asparagus. For example, today’s quiche is bacon, mushrooms & broccoli. It always comes out perfectly!
     
  2. This is just delicious! The only thing I had to change was the Dijon because I didn't have any.I used German coarse ground mustard and it gave the best zip and even a little texture to the crust. Definitely a keeper!
     
  3. Delicious! The aroma of the dill and mustard was still very present. Having it for lunch tomorrow at work. Yum!
     
  4. This Quiche was really yummy. I liked the fresh asaragus that was included. I also included 2 pieces of porkroll to please the men in my home. It was a big hit!
     
  5. Yum-my! That was so delicious ad cheesy :) Thank you!

Tweaks

  1. I also added bacon and lightly fried it with the onion.
     
  2. Yummy! I substituted dried tarragon for the dill, since we are not fond of dill. Turned out great. Thanks for posting this!
