Pie crust – 4.8 stars

The light and fluffy texture of everything but the asparagus is wonderful and so very tasty. The asparagus strips are unusual and, frankly, more work than they are worth. I spent at least 1/2 an hour slicing the strips and boogered up my fingernails badly in the process. Using a veggie peeler on something this small is just insane.

On another note… The pie crust is really good! I rarely make a crust from scratch – the Pillsbury refrigerated crusts are decent and convenient and are a staple in the fridge. Doing one from scratch, though, is a good reminder for why you should. The texture is so much better. To test the flavor, I used the scraps from the quiche crust to make my momma’s cinnamon pie crust bites. Almost made me cry it is so much like her’s. I can’t give a better endorsement than that.

Additional note – this pairs very well with Mimosas. But then again, what quiche doesn’t?
