1    8" pate brisee or

           -regular pie crust
      1 c  Crab meat, chopped

  1 3/4 c  Milk, scalded

      3    Eggs, beaten

     10    Asparagus spears,

           -tips reserved
      4 oz Parmesan cheese

        ds Nutmeg and cayenne pepper
           Salt to taste
  Preheat oven to 375. Place crab meat in bottom of pastry shell. Cut bottom
  parts of asparagus spears into half-inch slices and scatter over crab.
  Scatter parmesan over asparagus. Beat eggs and milk together, and season to
  taste with nutmeg, cayenne and salt. Pour over crab/asparagus mixture.
  Arrange reserved asparagus tips in a spoke-like pattern on top. Bake in
  preheated oven until set (about 45 minutes to an hour). Let sit for about
  15 minutes before serving. Next time, I might substitute Swiss cheese for

  at least part of the Parmesan (didn't have any handy, and at 1 ayem, wasn't
  gonna make a run to Kroger to get any).
