Asparagus Ham Quiche

92shares

Perfect for serving at your Easter brunch, this recipe for Asparagus Ham Quiche is a truly delicious way to welcome spring. Asparagus is at its peak during the spring, making it the ideal springtime ingredient for all sorts of dishes. I love to add it to salads, blend it into soup, and serve it on the side with a wide variety of main dishes. But my favorite way to enjoy the springtime flavor of asparagus is when I make quiche.

Asparagus Ham Quiche

Quiche is one of the most versatile dishes around. It somehow manages to be both light and delicate, yet hearty and satisfying. While it is synonymous with brunch, quiche is a great all-around dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And this version, featuring the classic flavor combination of ham and cheese, is a favorite in my house.

Asparagus Ham Quiche is also a fantastic meal prep solution. You can assemble it ahead of time and store in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Or you can bake it and then store in the fridge for a week, or in the freezer (wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and then  aluminum foil) for up to 3 months. So handy to have on hand for last-minute entertaining or on hectic weeknights.
