Quiche was good. I did not have onion so I substituted garlic. I also used turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. I would use less asparagus next time.

Add more asparagus! Chop some rather finely and mix into filling otherwise not everyone gets some. Also I sautéed the asparagus with butter and added chopped onions which were delicious.
