- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Gently press store-bought or homemade pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the crust.
- Evenly distribute 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup thinly sliced onions over the cheese.
- Arrange 1 cup of trimmed asparagus spears in a circular pattern over the mushrooms and onions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables, ensuring it reaches the cheese layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
