Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Trim the asparagus by removing the tough ends, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Step 3
In a large pan, melt 15g of butter over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, and remaining 15g of melted butter until a crumbly mixture forms.
Step 5
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch pie dish, forming the crust.
Step 6
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 7
Evenly spread the sautéed asparagus over the prepared almond flour crust.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus, ensuring it covers all the ingredients.
Step 9
Place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
