From the Gainesville Sun, sometime in the last 10 years. The active prep time is assuming you have the prepared filling ingredients ready and you are using a prepared crust. Add up to half an hour if these assumptions are not the case.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Crust

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, cut into dice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons cold water

Filling

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, about 8 oz
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
6 slices bacon, crisply cooked and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 lb fresh asparagus
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or whole milk
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1
For crust, EITHER combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in chives and water (mixture will be crumbly).
2
Shape dough into a ball; place on lightly floured surface and roll into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
3
Fold into quarters and transfer to a 10-inch quiche pan. Unfold and ease crust into pan, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Crimp or flute crust.
4
OR substitute a prepared pie crust, sprinkle chives over bottom of crust and press lightly into the dough.
5
Spread cheese over bottom of crust; top with chicken and scatter bacon over chicken. Place asparagus spears in a spoke pattern on top of the bacon.
6
Combine half and half (or milk), eggs, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk to mix well.
7
Pour egg mixture over filling in the crust.
8
Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven 40-45 minutes or until golden and set in the center.
9
Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

For ease in preparation I used a ready-made crust, but another time would like to try the pastry as listed! Anyway, this quiche is VERY TASTY & a joy to both make & serve! Definitely a keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for a teammate in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]

Excellent! I was a bit worried when I saw the list of ingredients that there would be "too" much going on.....not at all; the chicken, bacon and asparagus combination was wonderful! I made a mistake as well....I forgot to add the chives to the pastry - so I added them to the filling! I also used white asparagus, but I think green would be more aesthetic!! I made no changes, apart from my mistake - I suspect that the chives baked in the pastry will be sensational, I love to add herbs to pastry. A great recipe, which was a devoured by both of us! Thanks very much for posting this! FT

Very good quiche! we loved it, I didn't have any bacon in but had a couple slices of cold cut ham, so cut it up and used that. Lovely combination of ingredients, very nice touch putting the chives in the crust! (first chives from the garden this year)I will be making this again, a whole one! Just made half a recipe this time. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC 2007.
