Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch frozen pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 leek white part only, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 8 asparagus spears trimmed; chop stems and reserve tips
  • 6 ounces smoked salmon cut into pieces
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the frozen pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork and bake for 10 minutes to firm up the crust.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and minced garlic, and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped asparagus stems and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
