Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped yellow onion
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups packed baby spinach
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 large eggs
½ cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 ½ cups shredded Gruyère cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add asparagus; cook, stirring often, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add spinach, thyme and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach is wilted and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk eggs, half-and-half, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gently stir in the asparagus mixture and cheese; spoon into the prepared pie pan. Place the quiche on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until set and golden brown around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
