Asparagus Quiche with Ham

Attention asparagus lovers! The asparagus season officially started last weekend. This means that we can finally enjoy asparagus from the Netherlands again.

To celebrate this we made a delicious asparagus quiche with ham. You make this quiche with green asparagus, diced ham, tomatoes, onion, crème frache, cheese and eggs. We have omitted the bottom of puff pastry in this recipe.

This makes the quiche low in carbohydrates and gluten-free. The quiche has a delicious rich taste and creamy structure. The combination of green asparagus, ham and cheese is heavenly.

With this recipe you can make a quiche for four people. One serving contains only 5.2 grams of carbohydrates. You can also eat this asparagus quiche with ham if you follow a strict keto diet.

Tips: This asparagus quiche with ham is delicious to eat for dinner with a fresh salad. After baking, you can freeze the quiche per portion or keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days.

You can also prepare the quiche a day in advance and warm it up briefly in the oven or microwave the next day. I hope you like it. Let us know how it tasted by posting a comment at the bottom of the page.
