Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • tsp salt
  • ½ cup butter chilled, diced
  • cup water cold

For the Filling:

  • cup cream cheese
  • ¾ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 6 oz ham diced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup scallions sliced
  • tsp salt
  • 8 spears of asparagus trimmed

Instructions

For the Pie Crust:

  • In a mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles crumbs.
  • Add cold water one tablespoon at a time. Mix until it forms a ball.
  • Using a cling wrap, wrap the ball and refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • After 4 hours, place the ball on a floured surface.
  • Roll the dough out to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the pie plate and press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Use a fork to poke the bottom of the crust. Bake for 3 minutes.

For the Filling:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add cream cheese and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix the cheeses until well combined. Spread this over the par-baked pie crust.
  • Then, add the ham cubes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, scallions, and salt. Pour this over the ham.
  • Place the asparagus on top. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 45-48 minutes until eggs are set.
  • Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

This might not be the Martha Stewart or Paula Deen version, but it's just as delicious. Serving size is 1 slice and this should provide 8 slices total. Serve warm.
