Asparagus and Mushroom Quiche with Bacon
Ingredients Needed
-
5 slices bacon
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
-
1 cup portobello mushrooms, stem and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 cup chopped fresh asparagus
-
1 (8 inch) unbaked pie shell
-
1 egg white, lightly beaten (Optional)
-
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
-
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
2 large eggs
-
¾ cup half-and-half cream
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and evenly browned. Drain on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. Lower the heat and add portobello mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water until just tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
-
Brush the pie crust with a beaten egg white. Layer the onion-mushroom mixture, asparagus, and crumbled bacon into the crust. Top with Cheddar and feta cheese.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour over the vegetable-cheese mixture in the pie shell.
-
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
