Ham and Asparagus Quiche - SAVOIR FAIRE by enrilemoine

So this year I’m planning to celebrate Easter with a brunch and will serve this delicious and easy to make ham and asparagus quiche.

You can buy the ham already cut into mini cubes or do as I did: buy a beautiful thick slice.

Or if you are going to have a whole ham, this is a wonderful way to use it until the last bit.

The dough to make this quiche is the same dough that I use to make pies.

You can prepare it the day before, including baking the quiche crust.

One hour before serving, beat the eggs with the cream, season with a pinch of salt and white pepper, put this mixture in the crust that must be cold, distribute over the ham and the tips of asparagus and bake for half an hour until it begins to brown.

This quiche can be served at brunch or lunch with a salad, and even at dinner. I hope you like my recipe.
