Nutrition per Serving
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

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.

- 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.
