ASPARAGUS AND SPINACH QUICHE

Category: Quiche and Savory Tarts / Tartlettes

4 strips bacon (cut into 1 inch slices)
1 pound asparagus (trimmed, cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces)
2 cloves garlic or ramps (chopped)
2 green onions (sliced)
2 cups spinach
6 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 cup milk
1 cup gruyere (grated)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 batch pastry dough (chilled)

Cook the bacon in a pan and set aside retaining a tablespoon of the grease.

Add the asparagus to the pan and saute until just tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and green onions and saute until fragrant, about a minute. Add the spinach and cook it until it wilts.

Roll out the dough and fit it into a 9 inch spring form pan. Mix the eggs, milk, cheese, vegetables, bacon, salt and pepper and pour it into the spring form pan. Bake in a preheated 375F oven until golden brown and set in the center, about 25-45 minutes.
