Gluten Free Asparagus Dill Quiche
(Easy Spring Brunch Recipe)
Brunch | Meal Prep
Let’s be honest — brunch recipes have a reputation for being a little… dramatic.
Multiple bowls. Fancy techniques. A sink full of dishes before coffee even kicks in. Not this one.
This Gluten Free Asparagus Dill Quiche is the kind of recipe that looks impressive but secretly takes about five minutes of actual work. The oven handles the rest while you sip coffee and pretend you’ve got your life together.
Fresh asparagus, bright dill, creamy fontina cheese, and a protein boost from blended cottage cheese all baked into a flaky store-bought gluten-free crust (the best kitchen shortcut in the freezer aisle).
It’s spring brunch perfection — simple, fresh, and endlessly adaptable.
Why this Quiche Works
- Gluten free with a store-bought crust hack
- High protein from eggs + cottage cheese
- Fresh spring flavors
- Easy to customize
- Perfect for brunch, breakfast, or lunch

The Store-Bought Crust Hack
Let’s talk about the freezer aisle for a moment.
Gluten-free pie crusts are one of the best shortcuts available.

- Eliminate tricky gluten-free dough handling
- Bake beautifully
- Lets you focus on the filing
Sometimes the smartest move in the kitchen is letting someone else do the crust.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place the pie crust in the middle of a baking sheet tray.
- Saute the butter/oil, shallots, garlic and a pinch of each salt and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Just want to just cook the shallots and garlic slightly. Remove and let cool.
- Cut 2 inches off the ends of the asparagus and discard. Cut the asparagus into 2 inches pieces and place in your prepared pie crust. Add in the sauted shallots and garlic – spread around to evenly distribute. Repeat with the dill.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese and salt and pepper, until incorporated. Slowly pour into the pie crust. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Place the quiche (and the baking sheet tray) on your middle rack in your oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until the center of the quiche is set and doesn’t jiggle or move. To test this, lightly press down on the middle with 1 or 2 fingers. If it is firm – it’s done. Remove from the oven and let cook for at least 10 miuntes before slicing into.
Notes
- For the cottage cheese. If you don’t like the consistency of it, blend it until smooth and then mix in with the eggs. If the consistency doesn’t bother you, just measure and add into the eggs and mix. This is personal perference.
- I like to place the quiche on a baking sheet tray – in case any of the egg mixture spills over the top of the pie crust the baking sheet tray catches all the egg so it doesn’t spill in your oven.
- The quiche will rinse like a pie in your oven when fully cooked – as you let it cool it will decrease or sink in slightly. This is just the natural way eggs settle so don’t be alarmed.
