How to Make Easy Crab Asparagus Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 10-inch quiche dish or pie plate.
- In the prepared pie plate, layer 1 cup cooked crab meat, 1 cup chopped asparagus, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced yellow onion.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the crab, asparagus, and onion.
- Season generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup milk and 2 large eggs until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the pie plate.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is puffed and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving hot. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
