  • Heat oven to 375. Combine flour and salt in medium bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chives and water just until flour is moistened. (Mixture will be crumly.) Shape into ball; flatten slightly.
  • Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into 12 inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into ungreased 10 inch quiche pan or 9 inch glass pie pan; unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan. Crimp or flute edge of crust.
  • Sprinkle cheese and bacon over bottom of crust. Place asparagus spears in spoke pattern on top of bacon.
  • Combine all remaining filling ingredients in small bowl. Pour over asparagus-cheese mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and set in center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

  1. I've made this quiche TWICE in the last two weeks ~ I cheated both times and didn't roll out the crust! I put the ball of dough in the middle of the quiche dish and pressed the dough out to the edges and up the sides with my fingertips, and that worked out great! The FIRST time I made the quiche per the recipe with asparagus, but was unable to photograph it because my camera batteries were dead and wouldn't charge ~ so I enjoyed that quiche without taking a photo! At first glance at my photo you might think that is asparagus along with the broccoli in the photo, but NO!!!! In the middle of making the quiche the SECOND time, I discovered that the asparagus I bought didn't make it home with me! So the SECOND quiche is made with broccoli and snow peas ~ BOTH quiches were DELICIOUS! Tagged for CHIVES and ASPARAGUS for Herb/Spice of the Month May 2009 in the Gardening Forum.
     
  2. Okay Sharon...I had never made a quiche before but if they are usually this simple and this delicious - well I'll be making more and more! I did cheat a bit and used a prepared pie crust and used 1% milk and low-fat cheese and added the chives to the filling mixture since I did not make my own crust. This is so simple to put together (maybe because I cheated??) and tastes so delicious! What a great way for me to get asparagus served to my family! Made for PAC April 2008 event.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a RETIRED high school administrator. I love to cook and my husband is a patient taste tester for me (poor baby)! Very lucky he is not a picky eater! We have an awesome son and daughter-in-law but unfortunately they live in Los Angeles so not much physical visiting. Lots of phone calls though! ? I love collecting cookbooks (drives my husband crazy), logo golf balls, and salt & pepper shakers (thanks to getting started with the old recipezaar swaps!). Recipezaar/Food.com has been a fantastic site for me. I have learned a ton at this site and really enjoy all of the forums (I think I'm getting addicted to the Swaps!!) My next big challenge is to learn how to put photographs on of the dishes I am making. Suggestions are definitely invited!!
