Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into rounds that fit into a greased muffin tin. Press the pastry into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup.
3. Sauté the Asparagus: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the asparagus pieces for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Stir in the sautéed asparagus and crumbled goat cheese.
5. Fill the Cups: Pour the egg mixture into each pastry-lined muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
