Ingredients: 
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup, finely chopped ham
1 small finely chopped onion
2 (8 inch) unbaked pie shells
1 egg white, slightly beaten
2 cups shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
1 container (5.3 ounces) plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup 1% milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Yield: 
16 slices

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 400 F. Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 4-6 minutes. Drain and cool.  Place ham and onion in a nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned. Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Spoon the ham, onion and asparagus into pie shells, dividing evenly between the 2 shells. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over the mixture in each shell. In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, yogurt, milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the top of the cheese, dividing evenly between the 2 shells. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven until firm 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool approximately 20 minutes before cutting.
