Ingredients

• 1 sheet Pie crust
• 1 cup Crab meat (lump or claw)
• 12 Asparagus spears
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and trim any excess dough hanging over the edge. Use a fork to poke small holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears, then cut them into 2-inch pieces. Steam the asparagus for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Set aside.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the baked pie crust. Arrange the steamed asparagus pieces and crab meat evenly on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and crab, making sure it spreads evenly across the filling.

Step 8

Dot the surface of the pie with small pieces of butter for extra richness.

Step 9

Bake the pie on the center rack of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
