Fresh Asparagus Pie image

I had some fresh asparagus lying around and wanted to use it up. I always do the same things with asparagus and wanted to be creative, so I tried this out to see if it worked and I was pleasantly surprised. It reminds me of a vegetarian crawfish pie. Great for brunch or a main course at dinner!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh asparagus, chopped
½ cup vegetable broth
½ teaspoon dried minced shallots
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup Greek yogurt
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix whole wheat flour, vegetable oil, milk, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together using a fork in a 9-inch pie plate; press mixture into the shape of a pie crust.
  • Combine asparagus, vegetable broth, and shallots in a pot; bring to a boil. Cook until asparagus is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree until smooth.
  • Melt butter in the same pot over medium heat; slowly whisk flour into the melted butter until paste-like consistency. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the flour paste; slowly whisk in yogurt. Add asparagus mixture to yogurt mixture; fold in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and Gorgonzola cheese until smooth. Pour mixture into pie crust; top with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pie is set in the middle and crust is brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
