Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
10 tablespoon cold butter, cut into chunks
3 large eggs
1/2 ounce dried morel mushrooms
1 cup slender asparagus, cut in 2-in. pieces
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
1 green onion, finely chopped

1
In a food processor, whirl flour and butter until mixture looks like cornmeal. Add 1 egg and whirl until dough holds together. Press evenly over bottom and 1 1/4 in. up side of a 9-in. springform pan; chill.
2
Preheat oven to 375u00b0. Soak mushrooms in a small bowl with 1 cup hot water until softened, 15 to 20 minutes, swishing them around every so often. Gently squeeze out liquid. Cut in half lengthwise if large. Save liquid for another use.
3
Blanch asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water until barely tender-crisp, about 45 seconds. Drain, transfer to a bowl of ice water, and cool. Drain and pat dry.
4
In a bowl, whisk remaining 2 eggs to blend. Whisk in half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle gruyere and onion in prepared crust, then arrange asparagus and morels on top. Pour egg mixture over vegetables.
5
Bake quiche on bottom rack until filling no longer jiggles when gently shaken, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in pan on a rack at least 30 minutes. Loosen quiche from pan rim with a knife, remove rim, and slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
