Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Trim asparagus ends and cut into small pieces.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté onion for 3 minutes until soft.
Add asparagus and cook for another 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
Place pie crust into a pie dish and press gently into shape.
In a bowl whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese into the crust.
Add the sautéed asparagus and onions evenly.
Pour egg mixture over the vegetables.
Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set.
Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream to lighten the quiche. Feta cheese adds a delicious Mediterranean twist. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
