      Title: Asparagus And Blue Cheese Quiche
 Categories: Appetizers, Cheese/eggs, Pies, French, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 Servings

      8 oz Pastry *
      1 oz Blue cheese
  1 1/2 oz Cream cheese
    200 ml Half & half
      3 md Eggs
           Salt, pepper & cayenne
      8 oz Asparagus; peeled & cooked

  As usual, the weight of pastry is the weight of flour used to make
  it.

  Roll out the pastry and line a 9" flan ring. Bake blind as usual at
  a high temperature (400°F for 8 to 9 minutes weighted down then a
  futher 2 to 3 minutes just to colour lightly). Meanwhile, mash the
  cheeses together, put into a measuring jug and make up to volume
  with cream or cream and milk. Beat hard with the eggs (food
  processor). Season to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne as usual.

  The asparagus should have been peeled/trimmed as usual and boiled
  in strongly salted water until just tender--for really freshly
  picked asparagus <15 minutes will suffice. Immediately remove from
  water and separate on a paper towel to cool quickly. When cold, cut
  into 2" lengths and spread out on the flan base. Pour over the
  custard and bake ina moderate oven (375°F) for around 30 minutes
  until nicely set. Serve warm (not cold or too hot).
