1 batch blind-baked pie crust, completely cooled
3 eggs
3 to 4 spring onions
2 Tbsps (1oz/28gr) butter
5 to 8 oz brie cheese
½ cup (4 fl oz) milk
½ cup (4 fl oz) heavy cream
3 to 4 oz blanched asparagus
1 tsp English mustard powder
1 pinch nutmeg
salt and pepper
- Heat oven to 400°F. Blind bake the crust. Allow to cool completely before using to allow the crust to set.
- Put water on to boil (to cook the asparagus).
- Fry onions in the butter until tender, set aside.
- Remove the rind from the brie and cut into small cubes.
- Beat eggs, add cream, milk and cheese and mix together. Add mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Scatter the onions on the bottom of the shell; pour in the egg mix; pattern asparagus as you like on top. (I'll often measure the asparagus spears and cut the bottoms to create a wheel effect, which means I put the cooked and cut ends in first and submerge them in the egg mix, then arrange the asparagus tips on top)
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the custard sets and is slightly brown.
