Provided by Joanna Gaines

Categories     HarperCollins     HarperCollins     Quiche     Egg     Brunch     Spring     Asparagus     Fontina     Milk/Cream     Vegetarian

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed

1 unbaked homemade or store-bought 9-inch pie crust

Steps:
