COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Lobster and Asparagus Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, cook bacon for 18-20 mins, or until desired doneness. Remove from oven and transfer bacon to paper-lined plate to drain the grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  3. Lower oven to 375ºF.
  4. Bring a pan of salted water to boil. Blanch asparagus for 3 mins total. Remove asparagus from water and transfer to ice bath. Let chill at least 1-2 mins to stop cooking. Set aside 4 asparagus stalks and slice them in half lengthwise. Slice the remaining asparagus stalks in half lengthwise, then slice each half into ~1” pieces on the bias. Set aside.
  5. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté onions until caramelized. Stir in bacon and small cuts of asparagus (not the 4 stalks) then immediately remove from heat. Let cool for a minute or two.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in heavy cream, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne until well-combined. Set aside
  7. Unroll crust and arrange in greased pie dish. Crimp the edge of the dough all the way around.
  8. Set aside 2 oz of lobster for garnish. In the pie crust, layer in half the asparagus/bacon mixture, 3 oz of lobster, then repeat with remaining asparagus/bacon and 3 oz of lobster. Top with Parmesan. Pour egg mixture over everything. Top quiche with asparagus halves that were set aside earlier.
  9. Place pie dish on baking sheet to prevent spillage when baking. Bake quiche at 375ºF for 40-45 minutes or until center is set and crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10 mins before serving.
  10. To heat the reserved 2 oz of lobster, gently steam it in a pan with 1/4 cup water. Garnish quiche with lobster and serve immediately.
