Asparagus Onion Quiche Squares
Asparagus Onion Quiche Squares are a delightful, savory dish perfect for brunch or a light lunch. With a flaky crescent roll crust and a rich filling of cheddar cheese, asparagus soup, and onions, these squares offer a comforting blend of flavors that appeal to cheese lovers and vegetarians alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 dish or pan with the crescent dough, sealing the edges of the crescents together.
- Push dough about 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, soup, 1 cup Cheddar, eggs, salt and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Beat well. Pour into baking pan and sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into small squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition. If you don't have cream of asparagus soup, cream of mushroom or broccoli soup works well as substitutes. Make sure to seal the crescent roll edges tightly to prevent any filling from leaking during baking.
Serving Suggestions
These quiche squares make a delightful brunch item and pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or fruit. Serve them warm or at room temperature, and consider drizzling with a bit of hollandaise sauce for added richness. They also make a great addition to a potluck or picnic spread.
