Spring Fresh Asparagus and Gruyere Cheese Quiche

Spring is such a wonderful time, the trees start to bud and produce beautiful blossoms, the perennials poke their heads out of the ground and the grocery stores begin to supply a wonderful collection of garden fresh produce. One of my favourite spring vegetables is asparagus. This recipe for Spring Fresh Asparagus and Gruyere Cheese Quiche is loaded with delicious asparagus, splendidly balanced with the flavours of crisp bacon and smooth and nutty Gruyere cheese.

I was excited to be working with Tenderflake for this recipe. Tenderflake is a brand I trust and have been using for years. I am guaranteed to get the flakiest pastry every time with a baked from scratch taste! Pie shells that are convenient, Og trans fat, and take the stress out of making pastry from scratch.
