Quick! Name a dish that can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner? Did you think of quiche? Me too, so that’s why I’m sharing this recipe for Asparagus, Bacon and Cheese (ABC) Quiche. This savory pie is so satisfying and easy to prepare, you’ll want to include it at every meal!
Before we jump into the recipe, here are a couple quick notes. While there are ingredients named in the title, the beauty of making a quiche is you can pretty much use whatever you have on hand. It’s Spargelzeit here (so I HAD to use asparagus), but great additions would include onions, mushrooms or even a little fresh garlic. When it comes to cheese, I use a mixture of parmesan and cheddar, but this is the perfect time to use up what ever you’ve got in your fridge! Finally, if you’re a little hesitant about making your own crust, a store bought pie crust would definitely work and make this recipe even easier!
