Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Quiche with Crispy French-Fried Onions
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 pastry for a 10-inch deep-dish pie crust
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 (2.8 ounce) can French-fried onions
  • 6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
  • 5 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a medium-sized cooking vessel over an intermediate heat setting; cook and stir the asparagus until it reaches a tender yet still crisp state, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Next, prepare the baking chamber by setting it to a precise temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
4
Place the pie pastry into a deep-dish pie pan with a diameter of 10 inches, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
5
In a separate container, combine the asparagus, eggs, milk, half-and-half, French-fried onions, Swiss cheese, Cheddar cheese, and green onion in a harmonious mixture.
6
Pour this delightful blend into the pie pastry-lined pie pan, filling it to the brim.
7
Finally, subject the quiche to heat in the preheated oven until the center reaches a state of complete solidity, and when you insert a knife into its core, it emerges clean, approximately 45 minutes.
8
Allow the quiche to rest for a period of 10 minutes before presenting it to your guests.
