1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Spread about half of the cooked asparagus over the bottom of the crust.
7
Spread about half of the chicken mixture over the asparagus.
8
Repeat layers of asparagus and chicken mixture.
9
Gently pour the egg mixture over the layers.
10
Arrange 3 asparagus spears decoratively on top of the quiche.
11
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is slightly puffed and lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
12
Sprinkle quiche with cherry tomatoes, if desired.
