This Ham and Asparagus Quiche is terrific for a springtime brunch, Easter dinner, or even just a weeknight meal. Make it up to three days ahead and serve it room temperature or warmed up.

For the Easter holiday, I thought I would adapt our mushroom quiche recipe into a Spring brunch dish, with asparagus and ham. It turned out great, my one note is to not add any salt as the ham brings enough salt to the party.

How to Tell When Quiche is Done Cooking

The hallmark of a good quiche is that creamy, custardy texture that you get when the quiche is baked just enough without becoming over-baked and rubbery. To achieve this, pull the quiche from the oven when the sides are set, but there’s just a bit of wobble in the middle when you gently shake the pan.

The quiche will set completely as it cools, and you’ll be left with a perfectly silky slice.

How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat Quiche

You can make this quiche up to three days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator, covered. Let the quiche come to room temperature on the counter before serving, or gently warm it in a 300° F oven.

To freeze a baked or unbaked quiche, let the quiche cool completely, place it on a baking sheet, and let it freeze overnight. Once frozen solid, wrap it tightly in a double layer of foil and place inside a freezer storage bag. Freeze for up to two months.

Do not thaw before reheating or cooking to avoid a soggy crust. If reheating a pre-baked quiche, place in a cold oven, set the oven to 350° F, and bake for about 20 minutes or until warmed through. If cooking an un-baked quiche, bake the quiche as directed in the recipe (starting in a cold oven), but add about 10 extra minutes to account for cooking it from frozen.
