Asparagus and Bacon Quiche

A savory dish that combines creamy egg custard, crisp turkey bacon, and fresh asparagus, all nestled in a flaky pie crust. Perfect for brunch or dinner.

  • Total Time: 65 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Unbaked refrigerated pie crust
  • ¾ pound Turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1⅓ cups Fresh asparagus, chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, freshly shredded
  • 5 Large eggs
  • 1 cup Whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer base)
  • ½ teaspoon Dry mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon White pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven rack in the center and preheat to 400°F (200°C). Gently press your unbaked pie crust into a 9½-inch glass pie pan and crimp the edges. Set aside.
  2. Cook the turkey bacon until crisp on the stovetop or in an air fryer, let cool slightly, and crumble into generous pieces.
  3. Chop the fresh asparagus into ½-inch chunks.
  4. Scatter the crumbled turkey bacon evenly across the bottom of the pie shell.
  5. Layer the chopped asparagus pieces over the bacon, then distribute the shredded Gruyère cheese in an even layer on top.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, dry mustard, garlic powder, and white pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  7. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the filling in the pie shell, letting it settle naturally into the gaps.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes to set the pastry edges. Without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
  9. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into 8 wedges.
  10. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh asparagus for the best flavor and texture; allow the quiche to rest after baking to ensure clean slices.
