Ingredients

  • 1 premade pie crust 9-inch

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C). Roll out the dough and place in a 9-inch pie plate, or if using a ready-made crust, defrost according to package directions.

Notes

Storage - Save leftover quiche for up to 4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
Cooking Tips - Check to see if your quiche has set and is ready to come out of the oven by jiggling it a bit - if it wobbles in the center it's not set. The crust should be golden brown.
Reheating Instructions -The best way to reheat quiche is in the oven or a toaster oven. Microwaving makes the crust too soggy.
Serving Options - Quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
