Chicken Sausage and Asparagus Quiche

Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a small skillet, melt butter and sauté onions over medium heat until tender and lightly browned, 5 minutes. Set aside.

Bend asparagus spears one by one to snap the bottom stalky parts off. Place into a shallow bowl and top with a little cold water. Microwave 1-3 minutes until crisp tender. Drain and top with ice. Set aside.

In a large bowl, place cooked onions, diced sausage, half the cheese, eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Stir. Pour into tart shell. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with asparagus spears. Bake covered with foil 15 minutes. Remove foil and finish baking another 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes before serving.
