Yes, fresh asparagus is great ... fresh green beans are great, lets face it fresh vegetables are really good and we each have our favourites. However, on the odd occasion, I do sometimes use frozen or tinned ... like in this recipe.

Great low-carb food.
Check that the quiche is properly cooked by placing a knife in the centre, it should come out clean.
Also, as ovens vary just keep an eye on the quiche while cooking.
This quiche tastes delicious eaten hot or cold.

Asparagus is at the Farmer's mkt now and I cooked some last night. This quiche would be delicious! I make mine with buttermilk and it works surprisingly well! Happy to visit you today. I lost your blog addy when I started working on this new computer! YAY! I have you in my blog list now! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDelete...this is asparagus time.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time favourites Jan, it's so quick and easy for unexpected guests that might appear, so healthy too, all that protein ☺
ReplyDeleteVery yummy! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI've never made a quiche. I might have to try this one day.
ReplyDeleteSo delicious looking!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I made or had quiche.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Hello, the quiche looks delicious and I love asparagus! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteMmm.... this has my mouth watering! Wonderful recipe, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
Love it all but the asparagus! Never could eat it :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday 🌹🌺💮
We both love asparagus. Thank you for this recipe.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely rest of the week.
Yes, fresh is wonderful, but frozen and tinned are great for those times we have not been able to get to the store. Another delicious recipe, thanks Jan :)
ReplyDeleteYummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I haven't had a quiche in years.
ReplyDeletethe eggs make a beautiful crust. you could make this with any veggies but i love asparagus with eggs!!!
ReplyDeleteHow tasty that looks! I do love asparagus!I do like your posy too, so pretty.xxx
ReplyDeleteOOh, that does look nice! I DO like Asparagus!!!
ReplyDeleteAsparagus is one of my favourite vegetables, Jan, and this looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice with mushrooms too.
Good morning Jan!:) Lovely to see you again. Thank you for another great recipe. I have taken note and will definitely try it out, as we both like asparagus and eggs. Does it freeze well? I'm asking because a friend of ours who comes to stay with us every year, will arrive soon, and I have been cooking for the freezer, so we will have more free time to chill out together.
ReplyDeleteJan, I couldn't find a cow creamer I liked, but I did buy two super hand painted mugs, and four pretty egg cups instead.:)
I love quiche, but hate asparagus. I could substitute with zucchini and tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteAsparagus I love. We had lots in Menorca plus asparagus soup. And now it's coming into season here. Pity about the strange after effects but it's worth it to eat this delicious treat.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! A great way to add asparagus to a low carb meal! The salad looked delicious as well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and comments, the low carb team love receiving, reading and sharing them.

Asparagus for sale at the Farmer's Market - I would have bought some too!
Glad you got your new computer all sorted.
Tom
... it definitely is asparagus time, you can't beat it!

If you have eggs in the larder and asparagus either fresh, or in a tin, this quiche is a winner!
Valerie-Jael
Agree 100% - it is very Yummy!
Mary
Quiches (and Frittata's) are so popular in our house. They are so quick, easy and nutritious too. I hope you may give this a try!
Christine
... and it is delicious!
Dora (peppylady)
Perhaps you may give this quiche recipe a try, it does taste great!
Eileen
Asparagus is so good to eat like in this quiche, or just on it's own with butter, it's Yummy!
Regine
Glad you loved this!
Stephanie
So simple and so tasty, hope you may enjoy a slice soon!
Jan
Asparagus is not to everyone's liking. How about making this with zucchini (courgettes), spinach, broccoli or peas! We sometimes have a mixed vegetable quiche, it's just so tasty!
Mildred
Glad both you and John like asparagus, perhaps you may enjoy this quiche soon!
Denise
... sometimes it is just handy to use tinned, although fresh is just so good!
Bob
"Yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy."
Is an excellent word for this quiche!
Martha (Plowing Through Life)
You've not had a quiche in years!!!
Perhaps I've just persuaded you to have one later this week!
Debbie
You can indeed make this with any vegetable, the base recipe is so versatile!
Snowbird
Asparagus is a firm favourite with us. That posy is just so colourful!
Kezzie
Glad you like this. Perhaps it will be on your menu plan soon!
Linda
Pleased to read you like asparagus, this quiche is delicious!
Elephant's Child
Absolutely agree with you, mushrooms would be great in this quiche recipe!
Breathtaking
You asked does this freeze well - I've never frozen one, but I'm sure it will!
Now these crestless mini quiches are also excellent and freeze well, see recipe idea here http://thelowcarbdiabetic.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/mini-quiches-low-carb-paleo-wheat-free.html
Shame you couldn't find a cow creamer you liked, but pleased to read you did buy two super hand painted mugs, and four pretty egg cups instead ...
River
We do all have different food tastes. I think your idea of zucchini (courgettes) and tomato sound great!
Phil
Sunshine, Menorca and asparagus - what a great mix. Shame about your camera though, hope it can be fixed ok.
With regard to eating asparagus and the strange after effects, I thought this article was very interesting http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/why-pee-smells-funny-eat-asparagus ... note it says 'you're not only normal you have a good nose' !
