Yield 1 quiche, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 leek
1 lb asparagus
4 large eggs
1 3/4 cups half-and-half
1 pie crust

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lowest position. Cut off woody ends of asparagus then cut in small pieces on the diagonal. Cut the white and light green part of the leek in half, then thinly slice. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add leek and asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper. Place piecrust on rimmed baking sheet. Top with asparagus mixture, then pour the egg mixture on top of that. Bake until center of quiche is just set, about 50-60 minutes, and rotate the sheet halfway through. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
To store, let cool, then refrigerate up to one day. Reheat at 350 until warm, about 30 minutes.
