Ingredients
  • 6 oz bacon, diced
  • ½ lb asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup diced green chiles (medium hot)
  • 4 oz shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Position oven rack to center position. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9-inch or 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Set 1-2 tablespoons of green chiles aside for topping.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon until almost crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon and drain all but 2 tablespoons grease from skillet. Cook and stir asparagus and mushrooms in the remaining bacon grease until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove skillet from heat and stir bacon and green chiles into asparagus mixture.
  4. Spread asparagus-bacon mixture into the prepared pie pan. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over mixture.
  5. Whisk sour cream, eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour egg mixture over asparagus-cheese mixture. Dot with the 2 tbsp green chiles (for appearance).
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until quiche is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30-40 minutes.
