I’ve made this before and again…..it is so good and so easy!! Even with leftovers we ate every bite!! Makes for cleaning the dish very easy!!
I will also say not only delicious but nutritious!!❤️
Delicious, easy, and quick to make – you can’t get a better combination than that! I have used milk, half and half, or cream. The taste is great no matter which I use but of course the texture is creamier with the half and half and cream.
Delicious without the crust! I used smoked gruyere and it worked well with the ham and asparagus. Doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9×13″ dish for 35 min. Will be making this again! Note: 1 lb of asparagus = 2 cups. Also, I blanched the asparagus 4 minutes to give it a boost.
We absolutely loved it….. no crust was a no- brainer. I cooked it a bit longer, but I would highly tecommend this delicious quiche. We ate the whole quiche at dinner. Actually cut the asparagus into 1/4” pieces and hubby said the asparagus was perfect. Definitely will do it again.
Do I precook asparagus? Boil it?
Only two of us so I cut recipe in half. Quick, easy dinner and very good.
So good! I used almond milk and gruyere cheese. Was delicious, definitely making again!!!
Can you substitute Half and half for a creamier texture?
was delicious. an absolute keeper.
I, for one, would never miss the crust. This is perfect for my low-carb lifestyle! Thanks for the great recipe.
I absolutely LOVE how easy this is to make! Super yummy, too!
