Asparagus, Mushroom, Broccoli, and Sausage Quiche

This post is one far overdue. I started this about a year and a half ago after a particularly fruitful trip to my local farmer's market where I got the bright idea to make a quiche. Below you will see all of the ingredients I used: basil pesto sausage, broccoli, asparagus, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, chevre, gruyere, and (of course) eggs, butter, and cream. I was nervous about making a quiche but this was one of the most successful dishes I've ever made.

All of my ingredients, minus the pie crust.
Everything chopped.

Shredding the gruyere. I didn't have a cheese grater for some reason, so this was all done with a paring knife.
I always start by sauteing garlic and onions (in this case, shallots) in a little olive oil.
Sauteing the vegetables together first.
Starting the sausage on its own so it gets a nice brown.
Combining the vegetables and sausage.

Beaten eggs, cream, and cheese.
All of the filling ingredients together.
Pre-baked and egg washed crusts.
Quiches poured right before the oven.
The finished product.
Oven roasted potatoes as a side.
Final plating!
I ended up roasting some potatoes (pictured above) and serving with a green salad with slivered almonds and a pomegranate vinaigrette. This quiche was so popular I had requests for whole quiches for people who tried my leftovers. Definitely a point of pride.

Anyway, I found this draft floating around when I posted my last post (Bacon Cheeseburger Cups) so I figured I'd finish it up and publish it as well! Enjoy!
