_________________________________________________________________

• 1/2 Pound Asparagus (blanched)
• 1 Yellow Onion (sliced)
• 2 Large Eggs
• 3/4 Cup Monterrey Jack Cheese
• 3/4 Cup Muenster Cheese
• Salt and Pepper

Tart Dough -

• 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (1/2 Cup)
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

_________________________________________________________________

1. Start with the quiche dough. Cut the butter into small cubes and place in the freezer along with your tart pan.
2. When the butter is very cold, pulse quickly in a food processor (or blender) with the flour, salt and baking powder.
3. Working quickly, as to not warm the pan or dough, pour out and gently press the crumbly quiche dough mixture into all sides and bottom of the pan. Place back into freezer and allow to chill for at least the next 30 minutes.
4. While the dough is setting up in the freezer, take some time to prepare the rest of the ingredients. This process involves blanching the asparagus, slicing the onion and grating the cheeses.
5. When time has elapsed and the ingredients are fully prepped, assembly of the asparagus and caramelized onion tart can be conducted.
6. Preheat Oven to 400°F.
7. Remove the quiche crust from the freezer and loosely poke all around with a fork. (Prevents bubbling)
8. To the crust, layer the rest of the ingredients in the following order: 1/2 of cheese, asparagus, eggs, 1/2 onion, other 1/2 of cheese and finishing topping of onion.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the onions on top have just begun to caramelize and the filling is firm.
10. Serve hot, or cool to room temperature. For storage, allow the quiche to cool then cut and refrigerate. The quiche will keep for up to five days. That’s if the quiche ever makes it to storage though!
