Lemon-Infused Asparagus Pie
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of three fifty degrees Fahrenheit, or one seventy five degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking vessel by coating it with a thin layer of grease, specifically in the form of cooking spray or oil, to prevent your pie from sticking.
3
To create the foundation of your dish, combine two key ingredients - flour and thyme - with a sweetener, salt, and a pinch of pepper in a spacious bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a harmonious union.
4
In a separate container, whisk together the liquid and dry components of your mixture. Begin by adding milk to the bowl, followed by eggs and a hint of lemon zest.
5
In a separate cooking vessel, melt butter over medium heat. Add the star ingredient - asparagus - and sprinkle it with a pinch of salt, allowing its natural flavors to shine.
6
Using a gentle stirring motion, cook the asparagus in the skillet until it reaches your desired level of doneness. This should take anywhere from one to two minutes.
7
Transfer the cooked asparagus to your prepared baking pan and pour a smooth, even layer of batter over the top.
8
Finally, place your dish in the preheated oven and allow it to bake until the top is puffed and the edges are a rich, golden brown. This should take anywhere from forty to forty-five minutes.
