Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Roasting the asparagus instead of sautéing gives it a slightly smoky, robust flavor, which is just right when paired with rich and tangy goat cheese and lots of bright-tasting chopped fresh mint.

Ingredients

1 refrigerated rolled pie crust
1/2 lb. asparagus
1 tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
4 large eggs
3/4 c. sour cream
1/2 c. whole milk
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
4 scallions
1/4 c. fresh mint leaves
4 oz. goat cheese

Instructions

Heat oven to 425 °F. Fit the pie crust into and up the sides of a pie plate; fold the edge of dough underneath itself to create a thicker 1/2-in. border that rests on the lip of the pie plate and crimp as desired. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus, oil, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper, and roast on the oven rack underneath the quiche shell until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove crust and reduce oven to 375 °F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk,1/4 tsp each salt and pepper, and nutmeg, if using. Add the asparagus, scallions and mint, and mix to combine; fold in the goat cheese.
Pour the egg mixture into the crust. Bake until just set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
