Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- Arrange roasted asparagus over the crust and pour the egg mixture on top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Pre-baking the crust helps keep it crisp.Use milk instead of cream for a lighter version.Let the pie rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
