Teresa’s Ham & Asparagus Quiche Recipe

I know it is cliché, but real people (men and women alike) eat quiche;). Quiche is a versatile, crowd-pleasing meal often made for brunch, lunch, dinner, or even as a mini appetizer for parties, and it can include meats, vegetables, and cheeses. This tasty egg dish is perfect for any occasion and features fresh asparagus, salty ham, eggs, cheese, and Cherchies® Champagne Mustard

It is the Champagne Mustard that elevates this egg custard from average to excellent because it adds that "je ne sais quoi" (French for "I don't know what") to the eggs, making it a sure hit with your guests.

For a meatless version, load up on the asparagus, add various veggies, or substitute crab or shrimp for the meat.  

Grab a jar of Cherchies® Champagne Mustard and try this ultimate crowd-pleasing recipe today! You will not be disappointed. Serve this quiche with our soup mixes, Strawberry Spinach Salad, or Fruit Salad With Champagne Dressing for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp low-fat sour cream

  • 1 Tbsp. Cherchies® Champagne Mustard

  • ¾ cup half & half (Teresa uses fat-free)

  • 4 eggs or 1 cup egg beaters, whipped

  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) Cherchies® Garlic 'n Herbs Seasoning

  • Dash white pepper

  • 1 pie shell 9" (we used pre-made pie dough in this recipe)

  • 1 can asparagus, drained and chopped into 1 inch pieces, or 1 1/2 cups of 1 inch uncooked fresh asparagus

  • 1 cup Swiss cheese or Swiss & - Asiago blend

Preparation

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Cut bottoms off of asparagus if using fresh asparagus.  Cut asparagus into 1- 1/2 inch pieces, reserving tops for the end.  

Blend sour cream and mustard. Slowly add half and half blending to keep from lumping. Add egg and seasonings.

Place ham, asparagus and cheese in 9” uncooked pie shell. 

Pour egg mixture over pie shell.  Bake for 40-50 minutes. 

Let set up and cool 15-20 min.  Serves 8
