Asparagus Edamame Quiche | I Spy Plum PieThis asparagus edamame quiche does take a little while to cook, but it keeps excellently well too. This makes it ideal to make on a Sunday afternoon and then enjoy for the next few days at work – which is exactly what I did!

The use of yogurt in this quiche makes it a bit lighter and healthier than your standard quiche, but also adds a delicious zesty flavour. Don’t skimp on the lemon juice and zest either, they’re excellent flavour boosters!

If you don’t have edamame on hand then you can always just use peas, but I recommend seeing if you can pick some up! I stock up on frozen bags at my local Vietnamese supermarket whenever I visit so I have them on hand for dishes like this.
