Ingredients

5 slices bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup portobello mushrooms , stem and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup chopped fresh asparagus
1 unbaked pie shell , 8 inch
1 large egg white , Optional
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
0.25 cups crumbled feta cheese
2 large eggs
0.75 cups half-and-half cream
0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until evenly brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.
3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent. Reduce heat to medium and add portobello mushrooms. Continue cooking until mushrooms are tender. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
4

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook asparagus in boiling water until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately drain and run under cold water to cool. Set aside.
5

Brush pie shell with beaten egg white. Place onion-mushroom mixture, asparagus, and crumbled bacon into the bottom of pie shell. Sprinkle with Cheddar and feta cheese.
6

Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour over vegetable-cheese filling in pie shell.
7

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until filling is firm and the top is lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
