1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

2 (8 inch) unbaked pie shells
1 egg white, lightly beaten

medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Brush pie
shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped asparagus
into pie shells. In a bowl, beat together eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt and

top of cheese. Bake uncovered in preheated oven until firm, about 35 to 40
minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
