Canadian Bacon & Asparagus Quiche

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ½ teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup frozen country-style shredded hash brown potatoes (from 30-oz bag), thawed
• 1 cup ½ -inch pieces fresh asparagus
• 1 cup diced Canadian bacon
• 1 ½ cups shredded Havarti cheese (6 oz)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare your pastry dough and transfer it into a 9-inch quiche dish or pie plate, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides.
2. 2Line the inside of the pastry with a double layer of aluminum foil. Press the foil gently against the dough and let the edges hang over the sides to protect the crust from burning.
3. 3Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the foil carefully and continue baking for 2 to 4 minutes until the pastry sets and starts to brown lightly. Press down any bubbles gently with the back of a spoon.
4. 4Whisk the eggs, milk, marjoram, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Arrange the thawed hash browns, asparagus pieces, Canadian bacon, and shredded Havarti cheese inside the warm crust, then pour the egg mixture over the top.
5. 5Lower the oven temperature to 375°F. Bake the quiche for 45 to 50 minutes until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. 6To prepare a ham variation, substitute an equal amount of diced cooked ham or turkey ham for the Canadian bacon, and use Swiss cheese in place of the Havarti.
