Asparagus Quiche
This crustless asparagus quiche recipe is a great one to have up your sleeve, so easy, you literally mix everything together in the pie dish and pop it in the oven.
It's called a crustless quiche but I kind of think of it as a self-crusting quiche as you end up with almost. a thin pastry layer on the base of the quiche.
In some parts of the world (Australia) this type of recipe is called an 'Impossible Pie'.

Top Tips
Here is how you can make this self-crusting quiche perfectly every time!
The only real secret to this quiche is the making of the crust. Be sure to generously grease the dish with butter and whisk the flour, eggs, and flour well. Small lumps of flour in the quiche filling are fine as they cook out, but very big lumps should be broken up with more whisking.
Allow your quiche to cool a little before slicing it. When the quiche is piping hot from. the oven it will be quite fragile and tricky to slice nicely, as it cools it becomes more solid and easier to serve.
