What is in a Pickled Asparagus Quiche?
Pre-made Flaky Pastry Pie Shell
Go for a high-quality, buttery pie shell to save time while still keeping that homemade feel. It’s all about the flaky texture here, so pick one that feels indulgent. If you have the time, a homemade shell is great, but store-bought works perfectly.
Pickled Asparagus
Our Berry & Brine Ginger Garlic Pickled Asparagus adds a tangy, savoury punch that’s already seasoned, making it a time-saver. Look for a brand that packs in lots of flavor, as it’s the star of this quiche. Chop it into bite-sized pieces to spread that flavor throughout.
Eggs
Eggs are the binding agent that gives the quiche its rich, custardy texture. Fresh, large eggs are the way to go. They’ll make the quiche set nicely and add a smooth, creamy consistency. If you can, grab free-range eggs for that extra rich taste.
Milk
Milk lightens up the eggs and adds creaminess without making the quiche too heavy. Whole milk is best for that perfect balance of richness and lightness. If you want a richer quiche, you can substitute with half-and-half.
Feta Cheese
Feta brings a salty, tangy flavour that pairs perfectly with the pickled asparagus. Crumble it yourself for the freshest taste. Go for a good-quality, brined feta—it’ll stay moist and pack more flavour than pre-crumbled options.
Fresh Dill
Dill adds a bright, fresh flavour that lifts the whole quiche. Chop it finely to evenly distribute that herby goodness throughout. Fresh dill is a must here—dried just won’t give you that same vibrant taste.

Products used in the Pickled Asparagus Quiche
Can I use fresh asparagus instead of pickled in the Pickled Asparagus Quiche?
While fresh asparagus can be used, the pickled variety adds a unique tangy flavor that complements the feta and dill perfectly. If using fresh asparagus, consider blanching it lightly before adding it to the quiche to soften the texture. However, to experience the full flavor intended by the recipe, we recommend using Berry & Brine’s Ginger Garlic Pickled Asparagus.
How should I store the Pickled Asparagus Quiche?
The quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If you wish to enjoy it later, you can also freeze individual slices. To reheat, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
Can I make this Pickled Asparagus Quiche ahead of time?
Yes, this quiche is perfect for making ahead of time. You can prepare the quiche the day before and store it in the refrigerator. On the day you plan to serve it, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. This makes it an ideal dish for brunch gatherings or easy meal prep.
