- 1 cup (4oz, 120gr) shredded Gruyère cheese
- 4 eggs, divided

Instructions:
The rice:
Cook the rice in stock. If doing in advance, refrigerate until needed. If doing now, spread the rice on a plate to cool for 5 minutes before making crust.
The crust:
Lightly whisk 1 egg.
Mix cooked rice, 1/4 cup cheese and 1 egg.
Pat into a lightly oiled quiche or 10″ (25cm) pie plate, working it up the sides a bit for the edges.
Bake in 400F (200C) oven for 10 minutes.
The filling:
Heat oil in nonstick skillet, add shallot slices and sauté until browned. Carefully turn and brown other side.
Fill a large saucepan half full of water and heat to boiling.
Blanch asparagus for 3 minutes.
Remove, drain and refresh in cold water.
Whisk 3 eggs, yogurt, milk and chives together.Add the chives.
To assemble:
When crust is done, remove from oven.
Spread the ham evenly over the crust.
Spread the asparagus on top.
Sprinkle on the cheese.
Arrange the shallot slices on top.
Pour egg mixture over all and bake, 30 minutes, 400F (200C).
Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before cutting.
Note: I usually put the quiche dish on a baking sheet to make it easier to handle – it gets kind of full. And now I must get back to breakfast and our guest. And the dogs and the dishes and the whatever…..
Now I must get back to our friend and breakfast.
