Sweet Onion, Aspargus and Goat Cheese Quiche
- 1 whole 9- Or 10-inch Pie Crust
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Large Sweet Onion, Diced
- 1 cup Chopped Asparagus
- 5 whole Eggs
- 1- 1/2 cup Fat-free Half-and-half
- 1/2 cups Chopped Green Onion
- 1/2 cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 2 ounces, weight Goat Cheese Crumbled
- Salt And Pepper
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Roll out pastry and place into tart pan.
- Chill for 30 minutes.
- Dock crust (or, alternatively, line with parchment and fill with pie-weights/dried beans) and bake for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat.
- Saute onion; when onion begins to turn translucent, add asparagus and saute for another 3-5 minutes, until onion is cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender.
- Season with a pinch of salt and remove from heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and half-and-half.
- Season with a pinch of salt (keep in mind that you are using a salty cheese, so take care not to over-salt) and several grinds of fresh black pepper.
- Add cooked onion and asparagus to pre-cooked crust.
- Sprinkle onions, Parmesan cheese and crumbled goat cheese on top.
- Pour egg mixture on top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until center is set.
- Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing the outer ring from the tart pan.
- Serve warm or cold.
- Will keep, wrapped, in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- Note: If you do not have a 10-inch tart pan, you can use a 10-inch pie plate and serve the quiche straight from the dish.
