Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 2
   Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch boiling water. Cover and cook until tender but still firm, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
3. 3
   Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
4. 4
   Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and steamed asparagus into pie shells. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon and asparagus.
5. 5
   Beat eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.
6. 6
   Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until filling is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.Unknown
