This is a fantastic meal with a quick salad. You can probably change around the ingredients.
1 Prebaked pie shell (I wimp out here and buy one in the freezer section, poke some holes in the crust with a fork and bake it at 350 for 15 to 20 minute, until golden brown)
Whisk together:
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
3/4 C whole milk
3/4 heavy cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
pinch of nutmeg
Sprinkle a layer of Parmesan cheese on top.
On the bottom of the warm pie crust scatter 4 oz. deli ham cut into 1/4- 1/2 inch dice and 8 stalks of asparagus that have been cut into one inch pieces and blanched.
Pour the whisked egg mixture on top until filled to an inch or so below the top. Bake for 32-35 minutes until the center is like gelatin but a knife inserted an inch from the border comes out clean. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
