2 8” unbaked pie shells                                2 cups grated Swiss cheese

 

Reserve 6 stalks of asparagus for top.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Sprinkle bacon or ham and chopped asparagus in bottom of pie shells.  In a bowl, beat together the eggs, cream & ½ & ½ , nutmeg, salt & pepper.  Sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon/ham and asparagus.  Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.  Lay 3 pieces of asparagus on the top of each pie for a pretty presentation.  Bake uncovered in preheated oven until firm, about 35 – 45 minutes.  Let cool before serving
