HEARTY ASPARAGUS PIE
This hearty quiche is as attractive as it is flavorful! It looks complicated to make but is actually a simple recipe. The secret is the crust - it's refrigerated pizza dough that I season with basil and Parmesan cheese. But the asparagus spokes are what make this pie special for the holidays. It almost seems too nice to cut, but we're always glad we did when we taste a slice.

[email protected]I found this pie to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some garlic and onion powder to the filling, and it helped a lot. I also think it would have been better if I had used fresh asparagus instead of canned asparagus.

[email protected]This pie was a bit too rich for my taste. The crust was very buttery and the filling was very cheesy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a lighter cheese, like mozzarella.
