  • Step 3

    Transfer dough to a floured surface and form into a disc. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill overnight or at least 30 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Take the dough out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

    On a floured surface, roll out the disc to about a 12" diameter. Transfer to a buttered 9" round quiche pan.

  • Step 2

    Place the spinach, zucchini, and half the Piave PDO cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust.

  • Step 3

    Pour the egg mixture over top vegetables.

  • Step 4

    Add the asparagus and top with the remainder of Piave PDO Cheese.

  • Step 5

    Place back into the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Or until set. The center should be slightly jiggly.

  • Step 6

    Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
