Ingredients:

Serving

1 9- inch unbaked pastry shell
1 cup cut fresh or frozen asparagus (2-inch pieces)
1 1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup chopped pecans, divided
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
3 drop hot pepper sauce
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake at 450° for about 8 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Remove from oven and discard foil. Set crust aside. Place asparagus in a small saucepan with enough water to cover; cook until crisp-tender. Drain thoroughly; toss with Swiss cheese, chicken, 1/4 cup pecans, onion and flour. Spoon into baked crust. Combine cream, eggs, mustard, salt and hot pepper sauce; pour over asparagus mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Top with remaining pecans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings.
