Nonna Rosa's Morel and Asparagus Quiche image

Want an impressive recipe for your next brunch? Try this mushroom and asparagus quiche. It sounds fancy but is very easy to make. Savory and satisfying, it's perfect for a special breakfast, brunch, or even a breakfast for dinner night. Morel mushrooms can be hard to find and are expensive. Hearty portabella mushrooms are a delicious (and more readily available) substitution.
