COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Lobster and Asparagus Quiche
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- 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.
- Lower oven to 375ºF.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in heavy cream, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne until well-combined. Set aside
- Unroll crust and arrange in greased pie dish. Crimp the edge of the dough all the way around.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
