Asparagus, Leek, and Goat Cheese Quiche

THIS SPRING QUICHE is fresh, vibrant, and packed with green vegetables. A mild, buttery sautéed leek melts seamlessly into creamy custard, which is shot through with pops of sweet, just-tender, emerald-hued asparagus. Lemon zest and garlic add some zing and bite. Rich, tangy goat cheese and ultrasavory Parmesan round out the subtle egg, cream, and vegetable base with their complexity. A wonderfully crisp crust offers a deeply satisfying textural foil, and a finishing crown of crisp-tender asparagus tips peeking through the golden-brown custard makes for an irresistible presentation.
