Instructions:

For the asparagus and wild garlic quiche, peel the asparagus and cut into 4 cm long pieces. In a frying pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon of butter, add the asparagus spears and pour in 2 tablespoons of water.

Steam the asparagus over medium heat for 5-6 minutes with the lid closed. Stir briefly from time to time so that it does not burn.

Then remove the frying pan from the heat and cook the asparagus in the covered frying pan.

In the meantime, coarsely mix the flour with the curd cheese, the soft butter and the salt, then knead it into a dough with your hands and finally form it into a smooth ball.

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (convection oven). Butter a quiche pan (or alternatively a cake pan or springform pan, 28 cm in diameter) or cover with parchment paper and press the dough into it until it fills the pan evenly.

Raise the edge about 2 cm. Bake the dough for 10 minutes. Then remove the pan, but keep the stove on the heat.

Spread the wild garlic pesto on the pre-baked base. Remove the asparagus sections from the roasting pan with a spatula, and spread evenly over the pesto.

Mix the eggs with the whipped cream, salt and the asparagus broth left in the frying pan and pour over the asparagus spears.

Spread the cheese evenly on top and bake the quiche for 30-40 minutes. The egg mixture should be set and the cheese golden brown.
