- Before pouring the quiche filling into the crust, pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom.
- Use fresh asparagus for the best flavor and texture. If you only have frozen asparagus, thaw it completely and pat it dry before using.
- For a richer quiche, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard for a tangy flavor.
- To prevent the quiche from overcooking, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
