Missing the Parents

My parents live most of the year in Korea.  They came for a visit in May and it felt like Summer.  Lots of day trips and visits to the beach.

The Huntington Library was beautiful.  Doesn't my mom look great.  People are always telling me I look like my dad!  

I hope to plan lots of beach days this summer.  We have the gear (umbrella and chairs) now so there is no excuse.


Here is a easy quick dish for summer.  Quiche is good served cold so prep it ahead and enjoy with family and friends.  This recipe comes from Bon Appetit.

Quiche


1 store bough pie crust (I used Trader Joes - it's so good)
1 bunch of asparagus (really, you can use any vegetable)
12 scallions (this is pah, mom)
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 cup of cheese (any kind of shredded cheese)
1/4 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt
1/4 cup of half and half or milk
parsley
3 large eggs


1.  Roll out pie dough and bake crust according to package (375 at 14 minutes).  Let cool.
2.  Preheat oven to 425.
3.  Cut off asparagus tips.  Slice the rest of the stalk into pieces.
4.  Cut top white part of green onions and halve.
5.  Toss asparagus tips and green onion tops in olive oil and salt and pepper.  Place on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes.  Transfer to a small bowl.  Reduce oven to 375.
6.  Saute the asparagus in a pan with olive oil and salt.  Stir until asparagus is bright green (6-8 minutes).  Let cool and spread it over the bottom of the pie crust.
7.  Mix cheese, sour cream, half and half, parsley and eggs.  Season with salt.  Pour over asparagus.  Scatter asparagus tips and green onion tops on top.
8.  Bake for 20-22 minutes.  Let cool and serve.
