Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
  • Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped asparagus into pie shells.
  • In a bowl, beat together eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon and asparagus. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.
  • Bake uncovered in preheated oven until firm, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
