Greek Asparagus Quiche #BrunchWeek

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Your favorite Greek flavors are paired with fresh asparagus in this easy quiche, perfect for a special occasion or a regular weekend brunch.

Let’s continue with #BrunchWeek! It may be day 3 but it’s only my second recipe contribution because there are plenty of other delicious recipes shared by other bloggers to fill in the gaps (just check the list a little further down). Today I am serving a quiche stuffed with Greek flavors and fresh asparagus. Who knew the two paired so well together?

Sauteed onion, roasted red bell pepper, marinated artichoke hearts, asparagus, feta cheese, and of course eggs fill the pie crust for this quiche. I almost considered making it crustless or a frittata, but dang it crusts are just so stinking good it would be a shame to be without one. However, if you are looking to reduce carbs it is easy to make without. Meanwhile, I served mine with a side of crispy hash browns.

In non-brunch related news, today marks 100 days until our wedding! Kind of blows my mind that were are about 3 months away because I feel like it was 10 months a month ago. Thankfully the stressful planning phase happened early and has been fairly easy ever since. We have a lot of little things to work out still but all in due time. Just have to make sure we keep chipping away at it little by little to keep the stress level down and not let it pile up. Speaking of, I need to book my fittings… Excuse me while I go work off this quiche first (and that crust).
