The pricey list of ingredients notwithstanding, there is too much going on in this quiche for my family's taste. We like asparagus, we like scalops and we like the jarlsburg cheese - but together in one dish, it was just too much. We will continue to enjoy our scallops with a side of fresh asparagus.
