As you can see in the photo, the vegetables tend to stay on the bottom. It's very important to saute them until most of the moisture is gone, especially the mushrooms. Otherwise, they release their moisture into the quiche, and you'll have a watery bottom when you cut it.

You can use leftover cooked asparagus, if you have some. No need to saute it, just add it to the vegetables after the onion and mushrooms are cooked. This base quiche recipe can be used and adapted to any vegetables you have on hand.
