This rich and creamy quiche is punctuated with tender pieces of asparagus and flavored with a bright scallion oil. Tangy sour cream and goat cheese keep this decadent quiche from feeling too heavy. The pastry has a tendency to fold inwards when blind baking, so be sure to press it firmly against the sides of the pan. If it does fold in, simply hold it up against the side of the pan while pouring in the filling to put it back in place.
