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!

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!

Delicious! The aroma of the dill and mustard was still very present. Having it for lunch tomorrow at work. Yum!

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!
