Cooking Recipe Crab & Asparagus Quiche

Recipe Ingredients

1 8" pate brisee or
-regular pie crust
1 c Crab meat, chopped
1 3/4 c Milk, scalded
3 Eggs, beaten
10 Asparagus spears,
-tips reserved
4 oz Parmesan cheese
ds Nutmeg and cayenne pepper
Salt to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Place crab meat in bottom of pastry shell. Cut
bottom parts of asparagus spears into half-inch slices and scatter
over crab. Scatter parmesan over asparagus. Beat eggs and milk
together, and season to taste with nutmeg, cayenne and salt. Pour
over crab/asparagus mixture. Arrange reserved asparagus tips in a
spoke-like pattern on top. Bake in preheated oven until set (about 45
minutes to an hour). Let sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
Next time, I might substitute Swiss cheese for at least part of the
Parmesan (didn't have any handy, and at 1 ayem, wasn't gonna make a
run to Kroger to get any).
