Ingredients

• 1 9-inch gluten-free pie crust
• 1 pound asparagus
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup feta cheese
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

Roll out the gluten-free pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim excess and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

Pierce the bottom of the pie crust with a fork to prevent bubbling when baking.

Step 4

Wash the asparagus thoroughly and chop into 1-inch pieces, discarding the tough ends.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Dice the onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the chopped asparagus to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Set aside.

Step 9

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 10

Stir in the feta cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 11

Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the pie crust, spreading them evenly.

Step 12

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables, distributing it evenly.

Step 13

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

Step 14

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free asparagus pie!
