No Crust Asparagus Quiche for Spring

Breakfast Brunch Recipes, Gluten Free Recipes

Nothing says spring like a lovely asparagus quiche for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This one really cuts down on the calories too, but not the flavor, by omitting the crust. And it’s gluten-free!

Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. That is pretty much how I feel today! A fab group of fellow Canadian food bloggers and I are sharing Spring recipes with you all today. And for some crazy reason, it is sunny and the temperature is going to climb to an unusual high of 23 C as well.  Pretty great timing and it just makes me want to spring into action and enjoy a slice of this delicious No Crust Asparagus Quiche!

No Crust Asparagus Quiche

But this Monday morning was a bit of a rude awakening. I was convinced 8 am April 10th deadline was tomorrow, you know on Tuesday. I already made my asparagus quiche recipe the week prior for my mom’s birthday. She just loves asparagus so it was perfect. The plan was to write my post tonight. My morning ritual is to play on my laptop about 30 min before I get up. That is when I saw the date —- Monday April 10th. SHITTTTTT! Oops!

You have never seen someone flesh out a basic postable blog post as fast as I did this morning! You could say I really sprung into action ha!

Join me with a few fellow Canadian Food bloggers as we celebrate spring. The theme was “make any dish, sweet or savory, inspired by spring”!

This Bring on Spring event is brought to us by Melanie of The Refreshanista thought the Canadian Food Creatives group #cdnfoodcreatives.

So yeah the good weather…back to 9 C feeling 6 C tomorrow plus rain. Boo! Oh well, we need the rain to clean all the crap on the sidewalks from winter. Spring is rain. Spring is asparagus. I know when I see these beauties in the grocery store that life will get better.

And serving them up in a quiche brings a lot of spring to me step (yeah I am LOVING using spring as a pun non stop today) because it is such a lovely light dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Actually, I served this as a first course for a fancier dinner.

No Crust Asparagus Quiche topping

I fell in love and took inspiration for this recipe at Dashing Dish, I did not design the gorgeous pretty topping, it was all hers. But I did change quite a few things in the recipe, like using stronger cheeses because I prefer my quiches this way. Besides tasting absolutely delicious, this asparagus quiche is really easy to serve! I was afraid it might stick to the pie plate but with the help of a spatula, I got gorgeous slices out of it. And no crust = gluten-free.

Perfect for guest and great for any upcoming Easter menu!

    It’s definitely spring’s fault because we realized it was April the 10th this morning and…well, you saw, we were a bit late to the party 😉 ! And to add to that, this morning, here in Edmonton, Alberta it was snowing, yes, snowing. It didn’t last long, but still!!! Anyway, love asparagus, for me it’s the first spring indicator. Your crustless quiche look sensational!

This quiche looks lovely though, and I want it in my face space right now. Anything eggy, cheesy, and veggie-filled is dynamite.
