Asparagus Pie

Cooking time: 60 minutes
Servings: 4

A crispy, creamy, and simple pie with fresh asparagus and Parmesan. I have made the pie in a rectangular mold measuring 35 x 11 cm, which is perfect for 2 people. However, the recipe here is written for a classic round pie pan, which yields 3–4 servings. Check the tips for the quantity needed for a rectangular pie mold.
