Asparagus Quiche Recipe Ham

Savory ham and asparagus quiche is the perfect dish to make for Easter or brunch. The buttery crust is filled with egg custard, ham, leeks, chives, and asparagus.

Quiche combines my two favorite mealtimes together, breakfast and dessert. You can’t get any more decadent than filling a tender buttery crust with creamy, savory egg custard. For this year’s Easter brunch make sure you have this delicious ham and asparagus quiche on the table.

You can add just about anything you want in your quiche custard base. My spin on this quiche Lorraine is adding smoky chunks of ham, tender leeks, and fresh asparagus. Just before baking, I add fresh chopped chives to the eggs to infuse that onion flavor, and fresh garden picked aroma as it bakes.

A pinch of warm nutmeg spice brings all the rich and fresh ingredients together, it’s a winning springtime combination! To make this pie, even more, irresistible, I added shredded Swiss cheese. If you have access to Gruyère, that will make the quiche even better because of its nutty flavor.

There’s a lot of debate as to go crustless or switch it up by using hash browns or quinoa for the crust. I’m a classic butter and flour crust girl, so I’m all for making a simple crumbly crust to help carry the savory bites of egg custard, ham, and vegetables to your mouth, yum!

I like to use a 9-Inch glass pie plate because I can see if the crust is achieving the right color and cook as it bakes. The see-through material makes peeking at the sides and bottom of the pan a breeze. You certainly don’t want a raw doughy crust, no thanks!

You can even make the crust a few days in advance. Just combine the ingredients one day, roll it out into the pie pan the next and have it ready to fill and bake the day you’re ready to eat. This gives you more time to spend with your family and enjoy the festivities.

This beautiful quiche will not be the only item on our Easter Sunday menu. I will also be making some traditional Italian Easter bread that even has a dyed egg in the center with sprinkles! Jason loves this bread, and he can eat a whole ring all by himself, especially if it’s fresh out of the oven.

Besides the smell of aromatic herbs, vegetables, and savory ham filling the air when you remove the quiche from the oven you want to see a little wobble in the center of the egg custard. This indicates a creamy and smooth custard base that surrounds the meat and vegetables with every bite. The crust and top of the quiche should also be a beautiful golden brown. Make sure you allow the quiche to stand for at least 15 minutes before serving, so the carryover cooking allows the eggs to delicately set.

My sister gave me this recipe. It actually calls for broccoli but I forgot to pick some up when I was at the store and didn’t feel like running back out to get some.Fortunately, I had asparagus in the fridge!

The fun part about quiche is you can substitute all kinds of good stuff for the ham and asparagus. Like broccoli and onions, or Swiss cheese instead of the cheddar cheese that I used. Just as long as you keep the egg to cream ratio the same, you are good to go.

I have to say this is probably my favorite combination because I love smoked shoulder and asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. Put them together with eggs and cream and I’m in heaven.

Ham And Asparagus Quiche Bites

We enjoyed a full weekend of family time over this Easter weekend. On Saturday night, I hosted a ham dinner and my house for everyone. It was a chance for everyone to check out our remodeled house and a reprieve for my mom so she didn’t have to cook two days in a row!

I debated back and forth with what I wanted to do with the electric stove that was left with the kitchen before we renovated it. Ultimately I decided I wanted to leave it in the basement for extra oven space during holidays. It was was definitely going to be put to good use over the weekend. I planned on cooking the hams in it so I would have adequate space in my kitchen oven for the potatoes, rolls, etc.

At around 3pm I went to preheat the oven for the hams and realized the cord was missing?! We aren’t sure where it got lost and the closest hardware store was over 20 miles away. Needless to say, I didn’t get to use my second oven this weekend. I re-strategized and just decided to bake the rolls early that had risen quicker than expected. That freed up the necessary oven space for the rest of the sides.

A Day In The Life On The Farm: Asparagus And Ham Quiche #bakingbloggers #reciperedo

A crisis was averted and we enjoyed a delicious ham dinner. I made 20 lbs of ham because my dad had requested plenty of leftovers in advance. Well, with only 16 people, we had more than enough leftovers for everyone! The leftover ham got put to good use for brunch the next morning with this Ham and Asparagus Quiche. I brought it to my Mom’s house and we enjoyed it for lunch.

I haven’t made a quiche in a VERY long time, so I referenced The Kitchn’s advice for the perfect egg to cream ration. I have to say that I agree completely with their suggestion and the custard turned out so luscious and creamy. Paired with this flaky pie crust recipe, it was perfection!

Some people have commented that this Ham and Asparagus Quiche recipe is too rich, so I just want to be abundantly clear that this is a decadent recipe. If you aren’t worried about counting calories or fat, there is no such thing as too rich in my opinion!
