📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2
Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate (not deep dish). Fold the edges of the crust under and crimp as you like. Place the crust in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 30 minutes (or freezer for ⏱️ 15 minutes).
3
Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper, then fill it with baking weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are very lightly golden, 14 to ⏱️ 17 minutes. Remove the pie weights and parchment paper. Return the crust to the oven and bake until the crust is dry and lightly golden all over, 5 to ⏱️ 8 minutes more. Allow the crust to cool slightly on a wire rack.
4
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and the asparagus. Cook until crisp-tender, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Drain, and immediately place in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again, and dry very thoroughly. Slice 6 asparagus in half lengthwise. Cut the remaining asparagus crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
5
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
6
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, mustard, dill, pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Sprinkle the 1-inch sliced asparagus, cheese, and green onion into the prepared crust. Pour the custard over the vegetables. Arrange the lengthwise sliced asparagus on top of the custard, overlapping if necessary. Bake until set in the center and slightly puffed at the edges, ⏱️ 45 minutes to ⏱️ 1 hour.
