Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
Step 3
Beat eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.
Step 4
Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and cook until tender but still firm, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
Step 5
Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and steamed asparagus into pie shells; sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon and asparagus.
Step 6
Bake quiches in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
