Asparagus quiche...or your favorite other veggie

When I try to think of what is for supper,

sometimes I can just look through 

pictures and something will catch my eye.

I was looking through pictures on Google 

yesterday trying to decide what I was craving

and playing Word with Friends on the computer

with my sister.  

She said that the night before they made 

a quiche for supper and Bingo! I had

my supper idea.

I knew I had a bunch of asparagus in

the fridge that needed to be eaten, and 

asparagus was meant for a quiche.  It must be

the harvest time for asparagus somewhere 

because it is as cheap as you will ever see 

it in the store, and it is fresh and beautiful, 

so I have been buying alot lately.

I wanted to write this recipe down because it

turned out pretty good, and it is so much

easier to just look back at my blog. :)

Basic Quiche 

(add your favorite veggie)

2 T butter

6 eggs

1/3 cup milk or whipping cream

1/2 finely diced onion

1 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 bunch of asparagus (or other veggie) chopped into about 1" pieces 

seasoned salt and pepper 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a cast iron skillet.  I also sprayed the edges with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk the eggs and milk very well in a large bowl.  Add the onion, cheese, salt and pepper and stir well.  Pour into the skillet and bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.  After 10 minutes, drop your veggies into the egg mixture which will be starting to set around the edges.  Bake for approximately 20-25 more minutes or until set.  

I am planning on trying this with broccoli next time.  I will use the frozen kind in the microwavable bag and drain it very well and 

drop it in just like the asparagus.  I think it will

be awesome. 

Love what you eat and eat what you love! :)
