Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh asparagus
- 1 9-inch Frozen pie crust
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Roll out the frozen pie crust into a pie dish. Trim any excess overhang, then prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
Spread the asparagus and onion mixture evenly over the base of the pie crust.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the asparagus mixture.
Transfer the pie to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
