It’s asparagus season! Actually, it has been for a few weeks, so I’ve eaten a TON of asparagus. My mom came over yesterday and called when she was on the way. She had gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free pie crusts and asparagus she got from a northern michigan farm yesterday and wanted to see if I had anything to make some quiche for breakfast. I’d never made a quiche with asparagus but I just so happened to have a package of pancetta in the fridge (for making my pancetta and sweet potato hash) so I decided to throw something together and see how it went. Asparagus and Pancetta Quiche-Yum! I’ve been making gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free quiche for years- I love that I can change up the recipe to use seasonal veggies! Another great addition to my easy breakfast files!
I’m currently creating and testing recipes for a gourmet brunch planned for my little one’s baptism- this is a winner for that too! Stay tuned for more easy brunch recipes!
