Ingredients & Substitutions
Shop efficiently (treat this as your grocery list) and gather your ingredients at home without running circles in your kitchen. (i.e. One trip to the fridge to get all your dairy needs.) You can still find the full printable recipe at the end of this post.
The filling for the quiche is very versatile. You don’t need to use the exact same ingredients and quantities. Want more mushrooms? Then increase its amount and reduce another ingredient so that the filling will still fit your quiche crust.
REFRIGERATED:
- ham. 75g of your favorite ham. Bacon is a good substiute!
- cheese. 250g of shredded cheese, divided. I use the pre-shredded cheddar cheese. You can also use Swiss Cheese, Monterey Jack, etc. I would avoid cheese that is too salty as we are using a large amount.
- heavy cream. Also called double cream. You need 100ml.
- eggs. 2 large eggs or 100g (weight is without shell).
- quiche crust ready for baking. Quiche crust is shortcrust pastry, or also called all-butter pie dough. Here’s a great homemade shortcrust pastry recipe, or you can also use store-bought ones!
PRODUCE:
- asparagus. 75g of asparagus stalks. I like chopping the ends and saving the tops for decoration. You can also use leeks instead of asparagus
- mushrooms. I use 75g of cremini mushroom but any other kind should be ok.
PANTRY:
- salt & pepper. Reduce or leave out salt if your add-ins and cheese are particularly salty.

How To Make Step-By-Step

STEP 1.Preheat oven to 350°F/ (177°C) (no fan).
You need a 9 or 9.5 inch tart pan with removable bottom (pictured above) or a pie plate.
Homemade Quiche Crust/ Shortcrust Pastry – prepare and bake the crust as per recipe. Leave the crust to cool while you make the filling.

STEP 2. Lightly grease a medium pan with butter. Add the asparagus and mushrooms and cook over medium heat for a few minutes until the asparagus stalks have softened and the mushrooms have cooked slightly.

STEP 3. Sprinkle the ham and half of the cheese onto the base of the quiche crust. Then add the asparagus and mushrooms on top.

STEP 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, salt, and pepper together until combined. Pour into the quiche crust, then sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.
Optional: I like adding asparagus spears for decoration, I slice them lengthwise.

STEP 5. Bake the quiche for 32-35 minutes or until the center is just about set and the pastry has browned a little.

STEP 6. Let it cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Can be eaten warm or at room temperature and best served with a side of salad!
