Quiche that Makes Your Pee Smell Funny

Yummy!

I had some moms at my house a few weeks ago and served one of my favorite dishes....Asparagus Quiche.  The recipe was requested so here it is:

You'll need:
1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus or 2 packages, 10 ounce, frozen spears (I always use frozen)
1 tsp salt, for boiling water that cooks the asparagus
8 slices of bacon, cooked to crispy and crumbled
1/2 pound Swiss Cheese, grated (I like the tangy and sharp taste of Emmenthal)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups light cream
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
Dash of Pepper
One uncooked pie crust (11 inches or deep dish works best as this is a big quiche)

Here's what you do:
Cook the asparagus.  If it's fresh you'll have to figure out how.  If it's frozen cook it in one cup water to boiling for 5 minutes.  Drain and rinse in cold water.  Pick out 12 of the nicest looking spears and set aside.  Cut up the rest in about 1/2 inch pieces.  Into the uncooked pie crust layer bacon pieces on the bottom, grated cheese on the bacon, asparagus pieces on the cheese.  Mix the eggs, light cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper together and pour over the layers.  Arrange the asparagus you set aside in a spoke-like fashion on top of the cream/egg mixture.  Cook in a 375 degree oven for 50 minutes.  (that's what it takes in my oven....you'll need to see how yours does but a knife stuck in the middle ought to come out clean before you eat it). 

There are no calories in this quiche since asparagus is so good for you.

That's not true but I wish it were.
