Preheat oven to 350
degrees F. Prepare quiche filling by heating butter in a sauté
pan or skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté
until translucent. Stir in asparagus. Season with and fresh
ground black pepper. Remove mixture from heat and cool. Prepare
custard by combining eggs, cream, nutmeg, parsley, salt and
pepper in a bowl, mix thoroughly. Place cooled asparagus filling
in pie shell and spread evenly. Top with cheeses. Pour in
custard and gently tap quiche on work surface to remove "air
pockets". Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until
golden brown and cooked through. Test by piercing with a small
knife. If knife comes out clean, the quiche is done. Cool
quiche for 15 - 20 minutes before slicing.
