Asparagus Quiche

at Lia's request...

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 5 slices bacon
• 1 deep dish unbaked pie shell (I used Pillsbury pie crust cause it was fast.)
• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 
2. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
3. In bacon fat, cook asparagus until tender but still firm, about 6 minutes. Drain
4. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped asparagus into pie shell.
5. 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.
6. Bake uncovered in preheated oven until firm, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
