My vegetarian family really liked this recipe. I did change it a tiny bit: I used 1/2 a yellow onion instead of that canned fried stuff, sautéing it in the olive oil until translucent and then added the chopped asparagus right into the pan. I replaced the milk with soy milk and the half-n-half with a margarine and soy milk combo. Baked it crust-less in a ceramic pie pan, came out perfect in the specified time and temp..
Read MoreI thought this was just okay. It didn't have a lot of flavor, despite having a lot of ingredients. The french fried onions were a really nice add, but unfortunately it didn't save the quiche. There's way too much cheese in here as well. I wouldn't make this again.

An outstanding quiche recipe. Used a frozen deep dish crust and had too much mixture for the pan, so recipe could be reduced 1/4, if desired. Added salt and pepper.
Low carb version- omitted crust. Did not miss it at all. Did amply grease the baking dish.
Recipe Group Selection: 04, April 2015 ~ Wow, sometimes you just REALLY, REALLY like a recipe - and that was the case for me and this quiche! It was very easy to put together and the taste was fantastic. I used the equivalent of 4 egg white and 2 whole eggs and didn't measure the cheeses, but I'm sure I didn't use 11 oz. and used 3/4 pound of asparagus. It produced a very full deep dish pie pan. Because my DH thinks there needs to to be meat with a meal, I added diced ham to half of the quiche. I enjoyed a piece from the side without the ham. This baked up and set up so nicely, that the next time, I'm going to make it without the crust. Nice recipe selection this week. I served this with fresh strawberries.
Made this exactly as printed and it was a great hit with my family, they loved it!
Loved the recipe. Easy to make and a wonderful blend of flavors. I didn’t add the French onion rings but it was delicious without them.
I sauteed "real" onions instead of the canned ones. Other than that followed recipe exactly. Loved it!!! A new favorite quiche!
Very very good! Followed the recipe to the letter except I had to use cheddar cheese instead of Swiss because I didn't have it at the time I decided to make it yesterday. This dish goes great with fresh fruit to accompany it, especially strawberries! Good job!
I changed it a bit - used only 5 eggs, reduced milk to 1/2 cup and half-n-half to about a 1/3 cup. Then I added some crumbled bacon and used a 15 oz can of asparagus spears (drained); putting it in a ready made frozen 10 inch crust. Yum!!
I love this recipe!! I add sliced ham pieces for even more flavor.
I did not have any green onion and used a sweet onion instead. This altered the original taste, I'm sure. My husband had a second helping, unusual for him. I froze remains portions and took to work for lunch. Will make again and again but next time with green onion. .
Great quiche. Added leftover ham for more flavor. will make it again for sure.
Sauteed mushrooms with the asparagus. Then added bacon, previously cooked, and frozen. We really enjoyed this, and will make again.
Very good quiche! I used yellow onion in place of the canned and sauteed that with the asparagus in olive oil and butter. I halved the recipe and should have taken it out of the oven earlier, at about 40 min (a little too brown at 45 min with my oven). I also made this crustless, which I see others did as well. I really don't miss the crust or the extra carbs at all. Some garlic or onion powder would give a flavor boost.
Very good quiche! Filling but not heavy-tasting. I had some heavy cream to use up, so I used that instead of milk/half and half. Also used the whole 8 oz bag of swiss cheese and 3 oz of colby jack instead of cheddar. My 'bunch' of asparagus seemed rather large, so I used as much as would make a thick layer in my 10-inch skillet. This left enough to make a side for tomorrow's dinner :) Served with fruit and made for a very satisfying dinner, thanks so much for the recipe Graceeh!
Made without crust and cooked as noted — it came out beautifully. I added about 1/2t salt to mix and a few grinds of pepper. Next time I’ll use 1t salt and more onion.
I made this dish exactly as the recipe stated, with the exception of adding a few shakes of garlic powder. My family isn’t particularly fond of asparagus, but this quiche was well received.
Three out of four at my dinner tabe liked it My daughter who likes asparagus did not lilke this at all, not sure why. I thought it was quite tasty, used a premade crust- which I blind baked to get crispy. Good flavors.
I’m an avid cook, and use this site often. Generally I need to tweak the recipes. This however was pretty spot on. Added black pepper to the eggs, tripled the green onion and browned them with the asparagus. Thats it. Excellent, and cooking time was spot on. Thanks
I thought this was just okay. It didn't have a lot of flavor, despite having a lot of ingredients. The french fried onions were a really nice add, but unfortunately it didn't save the quiche. There's way too much cheese in here as well. I wouldn't make this again.
Sauteed onion and 2 cloves garlic with asparagus. Added chopped ham the first time I made it. Used cheddar fried onions because I had them on hand. It was very tasty. I am making it again one week later everyone loved it so much. I will add some bacon this time. I made this in a deep dish pie pan and it took a little longer to bake for the middle to set up.
I add artchokes and garlic and zucchini salt pepper to mine and hubby and my boys Said yummy mom
Fantastic base recipe. I eliminated the fried onion rings and added some finely minced red bell pepper and shallots. Best quiche I've ever had.
I followed the recipe except used cheddar and Colby cheese as I didn’t have any Swiss and sautéed the asparagus and onions separately, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. It is a beautiful, delicious quiche. Thanks!!
WE all loved this quiche! I added some mushrooms to it as an extra treat!
There was waaaay too much liquid (milk/cream/egg)in this recipe. I had to skim off just about a cup of of the mixture prior to putting it in the oven. If not, I would have ended up with a tremendous overflowing mess. I used sauteed fresh onions, as I did not have the french fried ones. The taste was very good - simple and straight forward. Next time I think I'll add some fresh herbs just to give it more umph.
It was good, but needed more flavor. Just a couple of tweaks next time- it barely fit in my 10 inch deep dish pie plate and overflowed a little so next time I'll use regular onion instead of the canned ones, and a bit less milk and half and half to see if more flavor comes through. Thanks for the recipe!
It was truly delicious and my hubby gobbled it up! I’m diabetic so made it in a well greased 8” glass baking dish (no crust) and baked as suggested. I used 1 cup of half and half and omitted milk and green onions. I also added 2cloves garlic and a little siraccia. Served with a salad and baguette. Will not hesitate to make it again.
The whole family loved it and there wasn't even a crumble left :) I added ham and had it actually for dinner and not for breakfast. Either way..... my family can eat breakfast and time of the day, so a great recipe for us.
Question: Does this freeze well (cooked)? (Have made this a few times and really enjoyed it. Great recipe)
HELLO CHEF ,HERE I am with a great good news for you about the khal.com a cooking land for cooking kings and queens like you.??
It was a hit ! I made it for Mother's day brunch along with overnight blueberry French toast casserole. They were the best things I have ever made. I will definitely make both recipes whenever I get the chance. Nancie McMahon
Turned out pretty good, and I’ll make it again with a couple changes. I did sauté onions. I plan on adding salt, pepper, nutmeg. And, it’s almost enough for 2 quiches. I think a little more milk/cream and a little more cheese would nicely fill two crusts. Mushrooms could also be a good addition
I used Swiss cheese instead of the Cheddar and we loved it!!
Followed the recipe to a T, everybody loved it. Would definitely make it against. Wouldn’t change a thing.
Great side for Thanksgiving. Pleases meat eaters and vegetarians alike.
Big hit. Did as others advised and used caramelized onions instead of fried canned ones. Used heavy cream instead of half and half. We all loved it.
Very good. Only used part of Swiss, rest was CoJack. Picky husband art more than half.
I had to make a small change but regardless our lil family really enjoyed this recipe. I didn’t have cheddar cheese so used all Swiss cheese & added 1/2 tsp salt. Will be making again hopefully with the cheddar cheese as recipe calls for.
