Asparagus and Mushroom Quiche image

I found this in with my grandmother's recipes when we were cleaning out her house. The spices add a nice bit to the quiche.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb asparagus, bottoms trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup onion, coarsely diced
1 refrigerated pie crust
4 ounces gruyere or 4 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
4 eggs
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil on high.
  • Add asparagus, mushrooms and onion. Cook on high for 4 minutes (or until asparagus is tender-crisp). Drain in colander.
  • Press pie crust into 10-inch tart pan, pie pan, or cake pan (I prefer the latter).
  • Scatter asparagus, mushrooms, and onion in the crust and top vegetables with shredded cheese.
  • In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients.
  • Pour egg mixture over the vegetables.
  • Bake at 425F for 30 minutes, or firm. Cool briefly.
