whatever the reason, i made it a lifelong goal to do everything anti-martha. that is, until i stumbled upon this recipe from her "Food" magazine. after re-creating this delightful quiche, i am slowly embracing my inner martha (that is my birth name, after all.)
leek, asparagus, and gruyere quiche
ingredients
one pie crust (store bought is fine...maaaartha suggests you make it yourself, but, psssh...)
1 tbsp butter
1 lb. asparagus, sliced thinly on the diagonal
1 leek, rinsed well, halved, and sliced thin
1 c. shredded gruyere
1 1/4 c. half and half
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste (a couple of teaspoons each, i guess...)
pinch nutmeg
method
preheat oven to 350. line a 9" pie plate with the crust, crimping it along the edges. fill the pie crust with the shredded gruyere.
melt butter in a large skillet. add the sliced asparagus and leeks, and saute for 6-8 minutes.
in another bowl, combine half and half, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. whisk together.
to assemble the quiche, pour the asparagus and leek mixture over the shredded quiche, then pour the half and half mixture overtop. bake for 50-60 minutes, until quiche is firm and crust is browned around the edges.
