This easy quiche recipe has asparagus mushrooms and cheddar, and it can be prepped in just 5 minutes!

Easy Quiche Recipe with Asparagus, Mushrooms and Cheddar

Here is a secret: quiche is incredibly quick and easy to make. And it looks so elegant! The other amazing thing about quiche is that it is simple to make two completely different quiches at once.

Next time you are hosting brunch, put this easy quiche recipe on the menu.

Quiche is a dish involving cheese, vegetables, and egg baked in a pie crust. It is the perfect thing to serve at a brunch, and you can customize it to include any cheese and vegetables you like.

I like to add my favorite cheese, Cabot Cheddar.

Quiche Process 1

And to make things easy, I use sliced mushrooms. I add them right into the crust raw and let them cook right in the eggs. You don't need to sauté the mushrooms in advance - so easy!

The asparagus gets chopped, and then the mushrooms, asparagus, and cheddar get layered in a store-bought pie crust.

Quiche Process 2

Then pour a mixture of eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper over the top. I like the combination of mushrooms, asparagus, and cheddar, but you could use any vegetables and cheeses that you like.

Then the quiche bakes in the oven for about 40 minutes. 

Asparagus Mushroom Cheddar Easy Quiche Recipe

I first came up with this recipe in 2015, and I have made it several times since then. Most recently I made it when I was in Maine for Christmas Prelude. It was great to snack on throughout the weekend. We could simply grab a slice, throw it in the microwave, and have meals without making a mess in the kitchen.

When I am making quiche, I like to make two at once. Inspired by my obsession with roasted tomatoes, I made a spinach, roasted tomato, and mozzarella quiche.

Roasted Tomato Mozzarella and Spinach Quiche Recipe 6

This quiche did take a little longer, since I roasted the tomatoes and wilted the spinach first - but that only took an extra 15 minutes of time.

Quiche reheats very well too, just heat in a 300 degree oven for 20 minutes. You can also make the quiche a bit healthier by making a crustless quiche.

Sometimes I serve the quiche with a bit of bacon crumbled on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 9- inch Pie Crust
  • ⅔ cup chopped Asparagus
  • ½ cup sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar
  • 5 Large Eggs
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ cup Whole Milk
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • dash of Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. There is no need to precook the pie crust. If it is frozen let it thaw for 15 minutes first.
  • Layer the asparagus, mushrooms, and cheese in the pie crust.
  • Mix the eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Either beat them by hand for 2 minutes, or use a mixer for 1 minute. You want the eggs to be light and fluffy.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese and into the pie crust. Fill the crust as much as possible, without letting the egg spill out.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the center of the quiche has firmed up.

More Breakfast

  • Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are a weekend brunch that will make a lazy Saturday morning feel special. The ricotta gives the pancakes a light, almost spongy texture. The ricotta flavor is mild, while the bold taste of lemon takes center stage.

      Yes! Bake it first, then freeze, and warm up in the oven when you want to eat it.

    What cheese did you use in the picture for the mushroom and asparagus? It is white but the recipe says cheddar?

      I haven't personally tried it with a substitute. I think soy milk or plain almond milk could work, and use goat cheese instead of cheddar. The goat cheese should give a creamy light texture to the quiche. Let me know how it turns out!

      I had to use sour cream and almond milk because that's all I had. It worked out fine.

    Is the asparagus from a can or did you buy spears and chop yourself?

    could you use the canned asparagus as they are not in season here?

      You could omit it or add another vegetable like broccoli or spinach. I recommend against using canned asparagus.

    I have now made both this quiche and the roasted tomato quiche. Both are delicious and were well received by the whole family. Thank you for the recipes.

    I would do this again but I would saute the mushrooms and asparagus first instead of allowing them to cook in the eggs. Followed the baking instructions to a tee and the quiche came out soggy.
