Ingredients for a Single Serving Potato and Asparagus Quiche
As we mentioned, quiche is a classic dish enjoyed as a meal on its own or as a side dish. This combination of potatoes and asparagus is one of our favorites. Here are the ingredients you’ll need for a single serving:
- ¾ cup baby red potatoes diced
- ¾ cup asparagus trimmed and chopped
- ½ cup sliced onions
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
To make a larger quiche, simply multiply the ingredient quantities according to the number of servings desired.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Quiche Crust
- Heat oven to 400°F (200 degrees C).
- Toss potatoes, asparagus, onions, thyme, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 15-17 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl.
- Stir in the cheese and then the roasted vegetables.
- Pour quiche into lightly greased 5-inch baking dish or dish of a similar size.
- Bake 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. Let quiche set 5 minutes before serving.
Tips and Variations for the Perfect Quiche
– For added flavor, sauté the sliced potatoes and asparagus in a bit of butter or olive oil until they are slightly softened before adding them to the quiche.
– Experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination. Gruyere, cheddar, and Swiss are all excellent choices.
– Add a handful of fresh herbs, such as chopped chives or parsley, to the egg mixture for an extra pop of freshness.
– If you prefer a crustless quiche or want to make the recipe gluten-free, simply skip the crust and pour the filling directly into a greased pie dish or individual ramekins.
Serving Suggestions and Accompaniments
Serve the Potato and Asparagus Quiche warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with a variety of side dishes and accompaniments. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
– A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette dressing
– Roasted cherry tomatoes or sautéed mushrooms
– Crusty bread or dinner rolls
– Fruit salad or sliced melon for a refreshing contrast
