Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 slices Canadian bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 3 tablespoons grated onion
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup biscuit baking mix (such as Bisquick(R))
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce
  • 1 prepared 9-inch single pie crust
  • 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir asparagus until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Stir Canadian bacon, grated onion, and garlic into the asparagus; cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat, cover, and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs, cream, biscuit mix, butter, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and hot sauce together in a bowl.
  • Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish; spread asparagus mixture into the crust.
  • Spread Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over the asparagus mixture in an even layer, and pour the egg mixture slowly over the quiche.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is lightly puffed and browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
