Categories     Cheese

Number Of Ingredients 15

Pastry:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 1/2 tablespoons ice water*
Filling:
3/4 to 1 pound fresh asparagus spears, cleaned and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (2-2 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 cup chopped onions
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
5 ounces (1 1/4 cups) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Pastry: Combine flour and salt in a food processor bowl with a steel blade and blend for 8 seconds (or whisk together in a large bowl). Cut in butter by pulsing 8 times with food processor (or use a pastry cutter), until mixture resembles coarse meal. Do not over blend. Add water and mix just until dough comes together. Put dough in a plastic bag and chill 30 minutes. Roll on a lightly floured board and fit pastry into an 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Chill until ready to fill. Filling: Blanch asparagus for 4-5 minutes in boiling water, cool in ice water, drain and set aside. Melt butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add curry and cayenne pepper; cook one minute. Sauté onion in curry butter until soft and most of the moisture has evaporated; set aside to cool. In a small bowl beat eggs, milk and salt. Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle cheese into chilled pastry shell. Spread onion mixture and asparagus over the cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set and golden. * In a dry climate may have to add a bit more ice water than pie crust recipes call for in order to get the dough to come together.

This quiche was a little too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was really good! The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

The quiche was good, but I think I would add more vegetables next time. Maybe some spinach or mushrooms.

The quiche was good, but the crust was a little soggy. I think I would blind bake the crust next time.

This quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

This quiche was a hit with my family! The asparagus was perfectly tender and the Gruyère cheese added a rich, nutty flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
