Ingredients

Asparagus-Pecan Quiche

From the cookbook Country Chicken

1 unbaked pastry shell(9 inches) I use a homemade crust recipe I have with Whole Wheat Flour

1 cup cut fresh or frozen asparagus(2 inch pieces) I used fresh

1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded Swiss Cheese. I used whole slices and just tore them up.

1 cup cooked chicken

1/2 cup chopped pecans, divided

1/4 cup onion

1 tbsp flour

1 1/2 cups half and half cream

3 eggs, beaten

1 tsp Dijon mustard( I didn't have any Dijon so I used Honey Mustard)

1/2 tsp salt

3 drops hot pepper sauce( I skipped this)

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil. Bake at 450* for about 8 minutes or until edges just begin to Brown.

Remove from oven and discard foil.

Set crust aside.

Place asparagus in a small saucepan with enough water to cover;cook until crisp- tender.

Drain thoroughly;toss with Swiss cheese, chicken, 1/4 cup pecans, onions and flour.

Spoon into baked crust.

Combine cream, eggs, mustard, salt and hot pepper; pour over asparagus mixture.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Top with remaining pecans.

Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 6-8 servings

Another one of those,"now why did I not think of that,"recipes. I have to agree with grandma, leaving out the hot sauce would hurt my reputation.\0
