I didn't set out to make this some kind of heroic 5-ingredient thing, it just happened.  1, because I'm lazy, 2, because I'm REALLY lazy and didn't want to make pie crust.  IMG_9656

Anyway.  Last year at the beach when Jay broke his leg my sister-and-brother-in-law (all the hyphens mean that they're BOTH my in-laws, right?  riiiiiight) made this killer quiche for breakfast one day.  I'm really seriously not a huge quiche fan, but I am REALLY a pie crust fan, so I can be talked into quiche in the right circumstance.  The base recipe (cream and eggs) is from the fam, and add-ins are SERIOUSLY up to you.  Cheese, broccoli, bacon, mushrooms, onion, garlic....I've done this a thousand ways and it turns out wonderfully every time.  

Let's make it!

You'll need cream, eggs, gruyere cheese, asparagus, and a pie crust.  Salt and pepper, duh, so I guess 7 ingredients if you count those in your measurements.  IMG_9644

The prep is super duper simple.  Trim the asparagus ends and cut the stalks into 2-inch or so pieces.  IMG_9645

Then, grate the cheese!  IMG_9646

Preheat the oven to 375F while you make the filling for the quiche.  Mix the eggs and cream in a big bowl with lots of salt and pepper.  Eggs are bland, yo.  IMG_9649

Then, arrange the pie crust in a pie plate (I swear mine comes out so janky no matter what I do), and throw in the cheese and asparagus, or whatever else you like in your quiche.  IMG_9650

Pour the egg mixture over the pie crust, then bake the quiche for about 50 minutes, maybe slightly more or less.  IMG_9652

The quiche is done when it's golden on top and set in the middle - give it a shake, it shouldn't jiggle.  IMG_9655

That's it!  Let the quiche cool for just a few minutes before you slice and serve it.  You could also make this the night before and serve it cold or heat it back up in the oven for just a few minutes.  IMG_9662

Easy delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner, done and done.  IMG_9660

Enjoy this one!IMG_9658
