Ham and Asparagus Quiche

This Ham and Asparagus Quiche is the perfect breakfast or brunch dish. A flaky, buttery crust is filled with a rich egg custard, savory ham, Gruyère cheese, and fresh asparagus.

Ingredients

  • 1 deep-dish frozen pie crust

  • 1 Tbsp butter

  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, diced

  • 5 eggs

  • 1 cup half-and-half

  • 1 cup diced ham

  • 1/2 cup asparagus, chopped

  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/8 tsp pepper

  • Fresh chives, sliced (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Cook the onion: Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  3. Prepare egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

  4. Fill the crust: Add diced ham, chopped asparagus, shredded Gruyère, and the cooled onion to the frozen pie crust. Stir gently to distribute.

  5. Add custard: Pour the egg mixture over the filling and gently stir to combine.

  6. Bake: Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the center is just set.

  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Top with fresh chives and serve.
