Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 piece Premade Pie Crust Perfect for a fuss-free base; feel free to make a homemade crust for a personal touch.
For the Filling
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Great for sautéing veggies; butter can be swapped in for a richer taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Adds aromatic depth; garlic powder works in a pinch.
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Provides crunch and packed nutrients; try zucchini or bell peppers for a twist.
  • 5 ounces Baby Spinach Delivers vibrant flavor and health benefits; swap with kale or Swiss chard if desired.
  • 4 large Eggs Binds everything together for a perfect texture; use egg substitutes or tofu for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ensures creaminess; almond milk or any non-dairy option lightens it up.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spinach Asparagus Quiche
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C).
  2. Roll out your premade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and slice into ¼-inch pieces.
  4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds, then add chopped asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes.
  5. Add baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Spread the sautéed spinach and asparagus mixture in the prepared pie crust.
  7. Whisk together eggs, whole milk, half of the Gruyère cheese, sea salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable layer in the pie crust and sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese on top.
  9. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the center is set and crust is golden brown.
  10. Let the quiche cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
