How to Make Asparagus Brie Quiche

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Roll out one sheet of ready-made puff pastry (14.1 oz) and gently line a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim and crimp the edges.
3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add 2 chopped spring onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. While the onions cook, remove the rind from 8 ounces of brie cheese and cut it into small cubes.
5. In a food processor, combine 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, the cubed brie, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Process until completely smooth.
6. Season the cheese mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
7. Evenly scatter the sautéed spring onions over the pastry base. Pour the cheese mixture over the onions. Arrange 1 bunch (approximately 10-12 spears) of asparagus spears in a spoke pattern on top of the cheese mixture.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set, the crust is golden brown, and the filling is lightly puffed.
