3 tablespoons butter

1 bunch asparagus, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
Pinch cayenne
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper

  • In a large bowl, add the chives, Dijon mustard, eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, a large pinch salt and a large pinch black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Add the asparagus mixture to the pie shell, then pour in the egg mixture. Top with the Cheddar and bake until the eggs are set, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut into wedges and serve.
