Asparagus quiche

A recipe for tasty asparagus quiche, a vegetarian variant. With tasty cheeses that are a great combination with the asparagus.

Only available in spring and maybe that's why I always look forward to it: white asparagus. And today a tasty asparagus quiche. 

And although I often combine asparagus with ham, this is a vegetarian variant. With tasty cheeses that also combine wonderfully with the asparagus. And that makes this quiche very, very tasty. For example for the Easter brunch.
