I love making quiche for dinner and Sweetie loves eating it. The great thing about quiche is that you can put lots of different things in it and so it’s a creative kind of pie.<\/p>\n

This time I had some grilled chicken leftovers to use up, plus a few spears of fresh asparagus. I decided to do a flavor combination that has worked well for me in the past for a sandwich…chicken and pesto with roasted red pepper and Swiss cheese. I put all of those things in, plus some caramelized onion, the asparagus, and a couple large bella mushrooms, sliced. It was delicious, so I want to share with you!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pesto Quiche with Grilled Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper <\/strong>Serves 4 – 6<\/span><\/p>\n

1 9-inch pie shell, blind baked at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes (use favorite pie dough recipe or pre-made)<\/span>
1\/3 cup caramelized yellow onion<\/span>
1 cup Swiss cheese, cut into \u00bc inch dice
1 cup grilled chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 stalks fresh asparagus, ends snapped off, spears cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large mushrooms, sliced<\/span>
3 eggs (or equivalent egg substitute)<\/span>
1 \u00bd cups evaporated milk\u00a0 or light cream
1\/3 cup prepared pesto
<\/span>\u00bc teaspoon salt
<\/span>dash pepper
<\/span>5 or 6 strips prepared roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons pine nuts<\/span><\/p>\n

Blind bake the pie shell in a preheated 400 degree oven, then set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

Reduce heat setting on oven to 350 degrees F.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caramelize the onion with a light coating of olive oil in a small crock pot or in a skillet and let cool .<\/span><\/p>\n

Sprinkle the bottom of the pie shell with the onions and half the Swiss cheese, distributing evenly. Top with the chicken and the asparagus, then the rest of the Swiss cheese. Place mushroom slices around the outer edges of the quiche fillings. Set crust with fillings aside.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with the pesto, then add the milk and beat with a fork to combine, add the salt and pepper and beat with a fork or whisk\u00a0to combine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour the egg\/milk mixture over the ingredients in the pie shell.\u00a0 There may be too much milk mixture if pie pan is shallow – don’t overfill, to avoid filling running over.\u00a0 Add the red pepper strips in a nice pattern on the top. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Put the quiche on a baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and bake 30-45 minutes, or until set and lightly browned. (I find that setting on a parchment-lined small baking sheet is a good idea in case some of the filling spills over.) Cool for 10 minutes before cutting to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
