This post has two purposes today.

First, it’s asparagus season here in New Jersey and I want to share with you this delicious Asparagus and Ham Quiche recipe. My family loves this simple spring asparagus recipe. Truthfully, this quiche is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Second, I have an over-abundance of cookbooks on my bookshelf. No, I seriously have an overabundance of cookbooks. Like, I have so many cookbooks that I could probably open up my on reference section in the library. So, I thought it would be fun to start a new series here on The Farm Girl Gabs called Cookbook Re-Creations. Each month, I will highlight one of the recipes from my cookbook stash and share it with you. How does that sound? I love trying new recipes and this is a perfect way to start.

So, now onto the Asparagus and Ham Quiche. Quiches are one of my favorite dishes. I like to think of it as a savory pie in which you can pretty much add any ingredients you like to.

I always use the quiche recipe from the Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer. This cookbook is packed full of great recipes for everything from appetizers to desserts. It is really a great basic cookbook to have on your shelf.

Here in New Jersey, asparagus in one of the first vegetables of spring. I get so excited when Jersey Asparagus comes into season. That means that the wonderful Jersey Fresh Produce we grow here on our farm is right around the corner. Asparagus is one of those vegetables that my hubby just loves. I try to make it as much as possible when it is in season here in New Jersey, but I get tired of the same old way to prepare it. So, I decided to make Anthony an Asparagus and Ham Quiche. It was a hit!

Quiches are so easy to make. After I chop all of my vegetables and ham, I simply layer the cheeses on the bottom and top then with the asparagus, ham, and onion. I then mix together the eggs and cream in a mixing bowl.

Gently pour the egg mixture over the quiche and that is it! This took all of 15 minutes to prepare. You can either make your own pie shell or cheat a little and use a store-bought pie shell. No one will know the difference.

If you are planning on a nice breakfast or brunch, why not give this Asparagus and Ham Quiche a try. Let me know how you like it!
