Ingredients (for 8 pieces):
600 g leeks
2 tbsp butter
a little more butter for greasing the form
salt
pepper
nutmeg
1 bunch of green asparagus, about 450 g, or spears
1 pack of filo, puff or yeast dough, about 260 g
100 g harder type cheese
250 g whipping cream
3 eggs, size M
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C, or if using fan mode – to 180 °C. Clean the leeks, wash and cut into thin rings. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a pan and sauté the leeks for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Wash the asparagus, and if using spears – cut off the woody ends, wash the stalks.
2. Grease a rectangular removable baking form, about 18 x 28 cm, with butter. Unroll the dough and line the form with it. Press the edges against the form. Spread the leeks on the dough, grate cheese directly on top. Place the asparagus stalks on top.
3. Whip the cream with the eggs, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour over the filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes.

Variation ideas
Want even more flavor? The asparagus quiche can be seasoned with bacon and onions. Just fry them and mix into the filling before baking. Feta or toasted pine nuts also work great – feel free to improvise according to your taste.
