I love that this quiche is really easy to make and that you can use any ingredients you have on hand. I think this is my new favorite flavor, I really loved the asparagus and mushrooms with the bacon. You can serve this quiche for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner and the leftovers taste fantastic. I highly recommend this recipe.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan and place on paper towels. Chop bacon into crumbles and set aside.
Use the grease from the bacon or the olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes before adding the mushrooms. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes before adding the asparagus and garlic; cook for another 1-2 minutes then remove from heat.
Sprinkle the mushroom mixture on top of the potatoes then add the bacon, tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Beat the eggs with the milk and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Pour the egg mixture on top of the bacon and vegetable mixture.
