ASPARAGUS, LEEK AND BRIE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Shape the pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan. Place the tart pan on a sheet pan and blind bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Reduce oven to 400 degrees.

• In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the leeks. Season with salt and pepper and thyme leaves. Saute over medium heat until soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Blanch the asparagus by adding the chopped asparagus to a pot of boiling water. Cook for 30-60 seconds. Transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
• Spread the leeks evenly over the pie crust. Top with half of the Brie. Arrange the asparagus over the Brie and pour the egg mixture over the top. Arrange the remaining Brie over the top of the quiche. Bake with a sheet pan under the tart pan to catch any spills.
• Place the tart pan or pie dish on a sheet pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until the custard is set in the middle. Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• 1. Grease a 9-inch tart pan or pie plate with butter, place the pan onto a baking sheet. 2. To make the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sesame seeds, and salt.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the crust from the freezer. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, beans or rice. Transfer to the oven and bake until crust is set, 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temp 325. 4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt, thyme, basil, dill, chives, crushed red pepper, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. 5. Cut 2/3 the asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Arrange in the bottom of the sesame crust, reserve the remaining asparagus for the top of the quiche. Add the brie and drizzle with honey. Pour the filling into the pie crust, wiggling the pan around to help evenly distribute the ingredients. Arrange the remaining asparagus stems on top. 6. Transfer to the oven and bake 55-65 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve topped with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
