    Spring is such a wonderful time of the year. The trees start to bud and produce beautiful blossoms and the perennials poke their heads out of the ground. As well, the grocery stores begin to supply a tasty collection of fresh seasonal produce. One of my favourite spring vegetables is asparagus. You will love this delicious quiche recipe that is loaded with fresh asparagus! Spring Fresh Asparagus and Gruyere Cheese Quiche is splendidly balanced with the flavours of crisp bacon and smooth, 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. Guaranteed to get the flakiest pastry every time with a baked from scratch taste! These pie shells are convenient, Og trans fat, and take the stress out of making pastry from scratch.
