Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.

Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and steamed asparagus into pie shells; sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon and asparagus.
Step 5

Beat eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.
