This Asparagus and White Cheddar Quiche is packed with perfectly tender asparagus, salty bacon and sharp cheddar cheese. Perfect for a Spring brunch!
I think quiches are kind of like miracle foods. You pile a bunch of stuff in a pie crust, pour some beaten eggs over the top, bake and voila, a dish that is bound to impress anyone.
Quiches are one of my go to dishes for when I am feeling particularly uninspired, or my favorite way to use a plethera of odd and end ingredients. Have some ham? Throw it in there? Random vegetables? Sure, why not! I don’t think I have ever had a bad flavor combination.
This was not meant to be a “blog worthy” meal. It was actually my way of using up the ingredients we had left before we left town for a few days. I had a ton of eggs, half a bunch of almost gone asparagus and a block of white cheddar. Oh, and bacon. You can’t forget the bacon.
This surprised me, a delightful surprise. The asparagus was perfectly tender, the salty bacon balanced the sharp white cheddar. It is the perfect dish for a brunch, or a quick dinner. It would also make a perfect addition to your Easter menu!

I don’t make quiches enough and that needs to change — they’re so easy and perfect for using up whatever is in the fridge! I’m a huge asparagus fan, and that white cheddar sounds awesome with it! This is one elegant perfect-for-spring quiche! 🙂

Yes they are! I love how simple they are!
Sometimes the uninspired, throw-everything-together kind of dishes are the best! Love the simplicity in this, yet it’s so elegant at the same time!

I love quiche, but don’t make it nearly enough. This version sounds incredible! That white cheddar and asparagus sounds like a wonderful combination too.

I love a good quiche just like you and this is a lovely one. A must try!
Sometimes those thrown together meals turn out to be the best recipes! I’m so glad you took pics so you could share it with us. Our stores don’t have the GF Pillsbury pie and pizza crusts anymore. I’m so sad!! I would have stocked up my freezer had I known they were going to take them away. At least I’m glad to know they still make them so I can hold out hope that they’ll come back to my area. I only had a chance to try the pizza crust and LOVED IT!

Quiches are totally a miracle food. They are actually the only way I’ll eat eggs (well, other then when the eggs are baked into a cake or brownies :-)). This looks perfect for Easter. And love these photos, Annie!

You are totally right! A quiche is like a small little miracle in a pie crust! I’m planning on making one this weekend and couldn’t think of what to throw in it, but you are right, I should stop stressing and just empty my fridge into it, lol! Pinning this bad boy, it looks amazing!
