½ cup flour

This asparagus pie needs more flavor. I would add some herbs or spices to the filling to make it more interesting.

There was not enough asparagus in this asparagus pie. It was mostly just cheese and crust.

The crust on this asparagus pie was soggy and undercooked. I had to bake it for an extra 15 minutes to get it crispy.

There was way too much cheese in this asparagus pie. It was overpowering and made the pie too heavy.

This asparagus pie was good, but not great. The filling was a little bland and the crust was a little tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This asparagus pie was delicious, but it was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
