Nothing says spring like asparagus quiche. Quiches are so lovely for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This one really cuts down on the calories but not the flavor by omitting the crust.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pie plate and set aside.
Sanp the tough ends off of the asparagus and rinse well. Chop the asparagus into 1 inch long pieces, place them in small bowl with 1/2 cup water and microwave for 2 minutes. Drain well and leave to cool. Sprinkle the asparagus evenly on the bottom of the pie plate.
Meanwhile, combine the shallots, eggs, milk, gruyère, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Pour mixture into the pie plate.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and add gouda cheese, and a few asparagus and tomatoes. Place back in the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until filling is set. Leave to rest for at least 5 minutes and then cut into 8 slices.
