This Asparagus Quiche has only 3 ingredients to let the roasted asparagus star in this perfect spring brunch dish. And I bet you’ll never guess what the 3rd ingredient is.
Asparagus Quiche – 3 Ingredients, Low Carb, Keto, Paleo, THM S
When I posted a teaser photo on both Instagram and Facebook asking my readers to guess my secret ingredient no one got it. Dozens of guesses and not a single right answer.
Ready to find out with it is? Here is a big hint. This is dairy free. So it is not butter, cream, cheese, cream cheese, or cottage cheese.
My secret ingredient is Buttery Coconut Oil! I used it to roast the asparagus and then decided to throw some into the blender with the eggs and see what happened. What happened was a delicious buttery egg filling that got crusty around the edges.
I always encourage my readers to tweak recipes to their tastes. Love bacon? Go ahead and add some. Don’t care about this being dairy-free? Toss in some cheese. I’d love to try it with a herbed goat cheese. Have an abundance of fresh herbs in your garden? Chop up with basil and sprinkle it in. I thought about adding some sun-dried tomatoes but decided that 3 was the magic number for this recipe.
I loved making a pretty design with my roasted asparagus but that does mean a few lucky slices get all the asparagus tips.

I’ve never heard of butter flavored coconut oil. Can ya just use more butter?
Taryn says
Yes, in the egg mixture. To roast the asparagus you will need a cooking oil.
