PREPARATION

HOW TO PREPARE THE QUICHE CRUST

Follow the steps in the dependent recipe to prepare the quiche crust.

Preheat oven to 450F.

Line the quiche shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes.

Remove foil. Bake 5 minutes longer; remove from the oven and set aside.

PREPARING THE FILLING

Cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender. This will take ~3-4 minutes.

Cook the bacon until done but not crispy.

Arrange the bacon and asparagus in the crust.

In a bowl, beat eggs; add cream, 1/2 cup cheese, onions, sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour over asparagus. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

BAKING

Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 23-25 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
