1/2 bunch asparagus, cut in 2-inch lengths
1 lb. ham, in small chunks
2 eggs, whisked
1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup water
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp pepper
In a deep dish pie plate, combine ham and asparagus. Whisk together eggs, cream, water, one cup of shredded cheese, and spices until smooth. Pour over ham and asparagus. Hopefully the liquid almost covers the ham and asparagus. This will depend on the size of the pie plate, and whether or not you estimated the amount of ham and asparagus. It’s okay if a few little tips of asparagus poke out. But if it is seriously not enough liquid, whisk another egg and a little cream and add to the mixture.
Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. The eggs will only be soft cooked, so it makes a nice thick sauce. If you cook it longer, it will be more like quiche. Which is fine, but I like it to be more like a sauce.
You could also add some onions or shallots, or bell pepper. But this is very simple and delicious.
Remove from oven and turn off heat. Sprinkle the remainder of the shredded cheese on top and allow to melt.
