Looking for a delicious and savory dish to serve for breakfast or brunch? An Asiago and caramelized onion quiche is the perfect choice. This flavorful quiche combines the rich, nutty taste of Asiago cheese with the sweet, tender caramelized onions, creating a satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Preparing the Caramelized Onions
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring frequently. After about 15-20 minutes, the onions will turn golden brown and develop a sweet aroma. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assembling the Quiche
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle the grated Asiago cheese over the onions.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the onions and cheese in the pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Baking and Serving
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature for a savory breakfast or brunch that highlights the rich flavors of Asiago cheese and caramelized onions.
