Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 leek
1 lb asparagus
4 large eggs
1 3/4 cups half-and-half

This quiche was a little too eggy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less eggs next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The quiche was a little bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough salt and pepper. Other than that, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.
