Since I love the taste of roasted vegatables, I roasted the asparagus, along with some red onion and garlic, before adding to the egg mixture. Really gave a great recipe an extra depth of flavor.

I baked 2 of these quiches for a PTA brunch I catered last week. I made a few changes based on previous suggestions. I sauted the chopped asparagus in butter first & added 2 tbsp finely choppe...
