I’m not entirely sure if this is a quiche or a tart, but here, in the interest of calorie conservation I have made it without a crust.  In the past I have made it using a ‘cheat’ crust made by frying a finely chopped onion in butter with garlic, and then tossing about a cup of  stale whole wheat bread crumbs in and pressing this into the bottom of a tart tin or suitable oven proof container before filling and baking.

I started making this without the crust when I did the Atkins diet about 10 years ago and it was the perfect  protein food with no carbs. Needless to say I think I lasted a total of 7 days on that weird regime, but had quite a lot of fun eating bacon, cheese and cream whilst on a ‘diet’.

I have used blue cheese here as it goes so well with asparagus, but a sharp cheddar works really well too. This is super easy to make and my favourite quiche recipe.

This is a delightfully smooth and creamy quiche base and I have often made it using other ingredients like mushrooms, spinach or peppers. Its fabulous for a brunch, a light lunch and served warm or cold
