Equipment

  • pie dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 leek
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 6 oz white cheddar, shredded
  • 2 oz parmesan cheese, grated
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 unbaked all butter pie crust

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
    Snap the asparagus end off and cut the asparagus into 2 inch pieces. Cut the bottom and the green top off the leek. Thinly slice rounds. Wash the leeks to remove all the dirt and sand.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add in the asparagus and leeks and saute for 5 minutes just until tender. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt pepper to taste, and both cheeses. Whisk together until fully combined.
  • Line a pie disk with an unbaked all butter pie crust. Pour the quiche filling into the pie crust.
  • Bake until lightly golden brown, 40-45 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, loosely cover it with foil or unbleached parchment paper, to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
  • Remove the quiche from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
