Ingredients You’ll Need

• 8 thin asparagus spears – ends removed and cut into 1-inch pieces. Thin spears cook through nicely in the quiche.
• 4 green onions – chopped, for freshness and color.
• 6 large eggs – you can substitute some egg whites if desired.
• 2/3 cup milk – any milk of your choice.
• 1/4 cup half and half – optional; adds richness. Replace with more milk if preferred.
• 1/2 tsp oregano – dried oregano adds a pleasant herb note.
• 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper – adjust to taste.
• 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled – provides tangy creaminess. Alternatives: gruyère, goat cheese, or parmesan.
• 2 Tbsp chives, finely chopped – for garnish and extra mild onion flavor.

How to Make Asparagus Crustless Quiche

1. Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with nonstick spray or a thin layer of oil.
2. Trim and chop asparagus. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. Chop the green onions. If you use thin spears, there’s no need to pre-cook them.
3. Mix the custard. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half and half (or extra milk), oregano, salt, and pepper until blended.
4. Assemble. Spread the asparagus pieces and chopped green onions evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle the crumbled feta and chopped chives on top.
5. Bake. Bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. A knife or toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Variations and Add-Ins

• More vegetables: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, or shredded zucchini for extra texture and flavor.
• Leafy greens: Stir in fresh spinach, kale, or arugula (lightly wilt if adding a lot) for added nutrients.
• Protein: Fold in cooked breakfast sausage, diced ham, or crisped bacon for a heartier quiche.
• Muffin version: Pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake 20–25 minutes for individual egg muffins—great for meal prep.
• Dairy-free option: Use a non-dairy milk and dairy-free cheese or omit the cheese entirely.

Prepping and Storage

To store: Refrigerate leftover quiche in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F or in the microwave until warmed through.

To freeze: Wrap a cooled quiche tightly in plastic wrap and place in a sealed container or heavy-duty freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
