Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 package pie crust store-bought or homemade
Filling
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Method
 

Prepare the crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in the pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
Cook the bacon
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble, leaving some drippings in the skillet.
Sauté the asparagus
  1. In the same skillet, add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
Mix the filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cheese, bacon, and sautéed asparagus.
Assemble and bake
  1. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
Cool and serve
  1. Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
