PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREFinding ways to use asparagus when it's in season becomes top priority. Using it in a quiche is one of our favorite ways; just take a look at this perfect-for-spring recipe. The custard-like filling is studded with feta as well for an easy springtime brunch. The pie crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling couldn’t be easier to make. We love that this quiche is vegetarian, but some crumbled cooked bacon would also be incredible mixed in.

ETHAN CALABRESE 14Roasted Asparagus
ETHAN CALABRESEThere are many ways you can cook asparagus, but roasting is our absolute favorite. When the stalks darken and crisp, they're not burning, they're developing more flavor. Got thicker stalks? Roasting makes a perfectly tender interior that seriously can't be beat.

15Sheet-Pan Garlic Butter Salmon & Asparagus
PHOTO: KATE JORDAN; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONIn this simple sheet-pan supper, salmon teams up with asparagus and onions. Giving the veggies a head start before adding the salmon makes sure that everything is cooked to perfection. The asparagus will be crisp-tender, the red onion wedges will melt down and get a little sweet, and the salmon will be a little browned on the edges, but still tender in the middle.
