Crab & Asparagus Quiche

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 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). Kathy in Bryan, TX
