Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roll out pie dough and mold into an 11-inch pie dish, crimping the edges to make ridges. Pierce the dough with a fork several times. Bake in the hot oven until slightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees F.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter, onions, asparagus, cayenne and garlic. Sprinkle with a pinch salt and a pinch pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the asparagus is soft and mixture is fragrant. Remove from the pan to a bowl and let cool.
- In a large bowl, add the chives, Dijon mustard, eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, a large pinch salt and a large pinch black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush partially baked pastry shell with mustard.
- Set aside.
- Melt butter.
- Cook onion until tender but do not brown.
- Combine onion with dill, chopped asparagus stems and cheese.

- Beat eggs with yolks.
- Add milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne.
- Pour over asparagus and cheese.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until just set.
- Cool 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus has a more vibrant flavor and texture than canned or frozen asparagus.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and loses its flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the asparagus. A dull knife will crush the asparagus and make it difficult to cut.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A good quality cheddar cheese will give the quiche a rich and flavorful taste.
- Don't overmix the quiche filling. Overmixing the filling will make the quiche tough.
- Bake the quiche until the center is set. The quiche is done baking when the center is no longer jiggly.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will allow the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.

Asparagus cheddar quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover asparagus, and it can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
