Ingredients
See recipe card for quantities.
- Asparagus – Provides a crunchy bite and vitamins. It is used raw and doesn’t need to be pre-cooked.
- Brie Cheese – This soft cheese makes the quiche super delicious, cheesy, and creamy with its rich and earthy taste!
- Fresh Dill
- Quiche Filling – The typical French quiche filling made with heavy cream and eggs adds more flavor and a particularly creamy filling!
- Quiche Dough – Homemade crust tastes better than any store-bought version – buttery, crispy, flaky! Plus, it’s not super complicated nor time-consuming. You can even prepare the crust one day in advance if stored in the refrigerator = even less stress when baking! If in a hurry, go for a store-bought pie crust.
Visual Step-by-Step Instructions
This visual step-by-step instruction will help you along the way – definitely recommended if you’re a baking beginner!
- Quiche Crust: Mix all-purpose flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the cold butter in pieces and mix at low speed, with the flat beater attached, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and mix at low speed until it comes together into a dough.
- Shape the dough by hand into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (up to two days).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Rotate the dough frequently to ensure even thickness. Gently transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it smoothly against the bottom and sides.
- Quiche Filling: Wash the green asparagus, then snap off the woody ends. Set aside 6 asparagus spears and cut the rest into 1-2 inch (3-5cm) pieces. Spread them together with the sliced Brie on the dough crust and arrange the reserved whole asparagus spears on top.
- Mix eggs, heavy cream, dill, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and pour over the filling.
- Bake quiche for 30 minutes in the preheated oven until golden brown.
Tips & Variations
- Crispy Crust: If you prefer a very crispy crust, you can blind-bake the quiche crust for 10 minutes. For this, prick the bottom densely with a fork, cover with parchment paper and some pie weights (e.g., dried beans or rice), and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes. Then distribute the filling on the pre-baked dough and continue baking according to the recipe.
- Pie Pan: To make the crust crispier, it also helps to use a steel pie pan, as it conducts heat very well. For this purpose, I recommend a 9-inch pie pan with a removable bottom!
- Cheese: Feel free to substitute Brie cheese with Gruyère cheese or Cheddar cheese. Camembert or any other soft cheese such as goat cheese will do it too!
- Herbs: Instead of dill you can use other fresh herbs such as fresh basil, fresh thyme leaves, or chives.
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour mix or a purchased gluten-free shortcrust pastry!
- Dairy-Free: Use plant-based butter, heavy cream, and a dairy-free cheese alternative.
