Bacon-Asparagus Quiche
- 1/2 pound bacon cooked crisp, well drained
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard dijon-style
- 1 each pie shell (9 inch) 9-inch
- 1 pound asparagus fresh or 10 oz frozen package
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup swiss cheese cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 cup light cream (half&half) or undiluted evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon tarragon leaves dried
- 1 teaspoon savory
- Cut the bacon into pieces and cook until crisp, drain well on paper toweling.
- Chop the asparagus into one inch pieces, reserving the tips for decoration.
- Cook or steam until just tender-crisp.
- Remove from heat and drain well.
- Bake shell at 375F (190C) for 15 minutes or until firm, but not completely browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes on wire rack.
- Brush mustard evenly over bottom and sides of pastry shell.
- Sprinkle baked crust with the bacon and arrange cooked, drained asparagus over.
- Sprinkle with half the Swiss cheese.
- Mix eggs, cream, salt, pepper, tarragon and savory.
- Pour over mixture in the shell.
- Top with remaining Swiss cheese.
- Arrange reserved asparagus tips in a decorative pattern on top.
- Bake in the oven about 25 to 35 minutes or until quiche is set in center (a knife inserted in the center comes out clean) but it's still a bit soft in the center.
- Rest for about 5 minutes to give it time to set.
- This can also be made using a quiche or french tart pan instead of a pie plate if you are making your own shell.
