Receta en español aquí

Today's recipe is a delicious savory and easy quiche, filled with bacon, asparagus, caramelized onions and goat cheese.

Ingredients

1 bunch of asparagus (or 1 can  asparagus)
150 g sliced ​​bacon
200 ml of single cream
3 eggs L
200 g goat cheese
1 sheet ready rolled shortcrust pastry
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nutmeg
Caramelized onions (recipe here)


Directions

To prepare asparagus, break off the tough ends (I use them to prepare homemade broth). Put water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, place the asparagus in the boiling  water and cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain and reserve.

To prepare the caramelized onions follow this recipe. It can be done the day before if you prefer.

Preheat oven at 375 ºF with the oven rack low.

In an ovenproof glass dish, previously greased to prevent the pastry from sticking, line the base and sides  with the shortcrust pastry. Trim excess. You can use the leftovers to decorate the quiche.

Now you can choose between:

Baking for 10 minutes just the pastry shell filled with dried beans.
Or baking directly all the ingredients together. This time I was in a hurry and chose the second way.

Cover the base of the quiche with bacon, spread over caramelized onions and place the asparagus as you can see  in the picture.

In a bowl whisk together eggs and cream, season with salt, ground black pepper and nutmeg.  Pour over the asparagus.

Now put the goat cheese, cut into slices, and place onto the tray and bake at 375 ºF about 25 to 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Let stand for a while before cutting. 

 

And enjoy!
