Do you have 8" pie plates? Me neither. So I made the recipe in one regular-sized pyrex pie plate and it was good. One of the problems with the recipe is that it doesn't give an exact amount of asparagus - it says "1 lb, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces." I ended up with a little too much asparagus because I read it to mean one pound of asparagus AFTER it had been trimmed - so the quiche came out a little too "moist". But it was good and I'm just going to use less asparagus next time. This amount worked just fine for one quiche in a regular pie plate. Took about the same amount of time to cook, too.

I made this for a tea party for teenage girls. I was concerned that it might not be well received, but it was gone quickly and we were successful at getting them to eat what can often be an unpopular vegetable. This was my first experience with making quiche and I was thrilled to see how easy it was. I have now made this recipe 4 times and my family loves it. In fact, we've discovered that it's also quite tasty served cold on a hot summer day.

Everyone loved this. I have made it with both bacon and ham. We loved it both ways.

I like asparagus, but this recipes doesn't complement it. The bacon todally overpowers it. I wouldn't suggest this to a vegtable lover.

I really wanted to love this recipe. I LOVE asparagus. Unfortunatly... it wasn't as great as I wanted it to be. My family, however, loved it at easter dinner. I guess you really have to be a quiche person for this one!

I didn't have swiss cheese, so I substituted medium cheddar and it was delicious. Great recipe.

I must have done something wrong but I used 9 inch pie shells and did not have enough liquid. I will try it again and will also add onion to 'kick it up a notch'.

LOVED IT! Used 2 9" crusts, and an unscientific 1 1/2 times filling. That worked out perfectly. I highly recommend good quality swiss, and baby asparagus when available for the best flavor. Made it for Christmas Brunch and was asked to make it again this weekend, but why is there always 1 asparagus hater in every group?

Terrific tasting quiche. The adults loved it, but the kids still wouldn't even try it. Must be something about the word, "asparagus."

Absolutely delicious! My husband the non egg eater devoured this! This is a keeper! The only thing I did add was about 1/2 c onion to give it a kick. I think next time I will bake the pie crust a few minutes before adding the ingredients too.

This was a terrific brunch dish! My boyfriend confessed that he didn't think he would like it, but ended up really enjoying it. I only had 9" pie shells, so I made 1.5 times the recipe and that was the perfect amount for two 9" quiche. To round out the meal, I served the quiche with fruit salad, potatoes & onions, and "To Die For" blueberry muffins...all from ALLRECIPES.com.
