Steps:
- For the dough: Pulse the flour, curry powder, poppy seeds and salt in a food processor. Pulse in the butter until it turns to loose crumbs. (Do not overmix.) Add 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water through the top and pulse until the dough comes together and forms a loose ball, adding additional ice water as needed. Remove the dough and form it into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- For the batter: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot and begins to smoke lightly, add the asparagus and cook over high heat until the excess water is cooked out and the stems are softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the skillet and arrange in a single layer on a kitchen towel to drain and cool.
- Place a baking sheet in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into an 11- to 12-inch round. Roll the dough up around the rolling pin and roll it back over the pie dish. Press it gently into the bottom and up the sides. (Ideally, there should be about an inch of excess dough hanging over the sides.) Pinch the dough up to create a crimped top edge. Line the dough with a piece of parchment paper, then fill it with pie weights or dry beans and bake until light brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and cool at least 15 minutes.
- Whisk the cream cheese with the eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream, Worcestershire, hot sauce, nutmeg and black pepper to taste. Line the asparagus up in piles of 5 to 6 at a time. Cut three-quarters of each asparagus into 1-inch slices, leaving the pretty tips separated and intact. Fill the quiche shell with the batter and the 1-inch pieces of asparagus stems. (Reserve the tips for later.) Place the quiche carefully on the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the batter sets and browns on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the reserved asparagus tips on top, then sprinkle with an even layer of the Parmesan. Place back in the oven until the top browns slightly, an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes, then cut and serve.
ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND SCALLION QUICHE
I've made many a spring quiche filled with asparagus and herbs, yet I'd never thought about roasting the asparagus instead of steaming it. But lately I've been buying thick stalks of asparagus, and all I want to do is roast it; roasting intensifies the flavor and the stalks become incredibly succulent, more so than when the asparagus is steamed. This quality isn't lost even when the sliced stalks are hidden inside a quiche.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Break off and discard woody ends of asparagus and place asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of the oil, add salt and pepper to taste and toss together with your hands until asparagus is thoroughly coated with oil. Place in oven and roast 12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned in spots, turning asparagus halfway through. Remove asparagus from the oven and allow to cool until you can handle it. Slice into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl.
- Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Transfer to bowl with asparagus. Add tarragon and parsley and toss together.
- Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
- Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
- Spread scallion and asparagus mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle evenly on top. Very slowly pour in egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to keep the custard from spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

ASPARAGUS & CORN QUICHES
Quiche is always so versatile - an easy-to-prepare dinner, lunch or snack; and individual quiches are great for take-to-work lunches or for picnics or potlucks. Made with the canned vegetables, this can be made very quickly but it can, of course, also be made with fresh or frozen vegetables. If you are using frozen vegetables, steam them briefly and make sure that all excess liquid has been drained off - or saved for making soup, such as my Recipe #135453. I've adapted this recipe from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. Conversions: 425g = approximately 131/2 ounces; 125g = 4 ounces.

Steps:
- Line eight 10cm/4" quiche pans with pastry.

- NOTE: You can opt for making a single quiche rather than individual quiches, in which case the quiche should be cooked for 30 minutes or until the quiche has set.

ASPARAGUS QUICHE
There's nothing I like better than getting all my housework done and "cooking up a storm" in the kitchen. I was raised in a farming community that had many asparagus growers. So I've always made sure that there's an ample supply of asparagus in my freezer! My husband is a grain farmer, and we have four grown children and 13 grandchildren.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add leek and asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Place pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese; top with asparagus mixture. Pour egg mixture on top.
- Bake until center of quiche is just set, 50 to 60 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Utilize Fresh Ingredients: Prioritize using fresh asparagus and corn for optimal flavor and texture.
- Tenderize Asparagus: For best results, blanch the asparagus briefly before adding it to the quiche filling. This process enhances its texture and color.
- Enhance Corn Flavor: Sauté the corn in butter before incorporating it into the filling. This step intensifies its natural sweetness.
- Use Quality Cheese: Opt for high-quality cheese, such as sharp cheddar or Gruyère, to elevate the quiche's flavor profile.
- Season Wisely: Season the filling generously with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or chives to create a well-rounded flavor.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure the quiche pan is not overcrowded with filling ingredients to allow even cooking and prevent sogginess.
- Master the Crust: Whether using a pre-made or homemade crust, ensure it's evenly pressed into the pan and has no air pockets to prevent shrinking.
- Chill Before Baking: Chilling the assembled quiche before baking helps the filling set better and results in a more stable quiche.
- Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on the quiche during baking to prevent overcooking. The center should be set but still slightly wobbly when shaken.
- Allow Cooling Time: Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to firm up and prevents it from becoming runny.

Asparagus Corn Quiches offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making them a versatile dish suitable for various occasions. With careful attention to ingredient quality, proper cooking techniques, and precise baking, you can create a delectable quiche that will impress your family and friends.
