1
See my TastyKitchen recipe box for my homemade sesame cracker recipe, or you can use store bought.
2
Preheat the oven to 375 F. To make the crust mix the sesame cracker crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate or tart pan. Bake at 375 F for 7 minutes. Then remove it from the oven and allow to cool.
3
Grease a roasting pan. Add the asparagus, a pinch of salt and pepper and olive oil and toss to coat. If using bacon, line a baking pan with foil and set a rack on top of the foil. Arrange bacon on the cooling rack. Place both dishes in the oven and bake to crisp, 15-18 minutes. When done remove the pans from the oven. Dice the bacon when it's cool enough to handle.
4
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Add 3/4 cup of the Havarti cheese and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese. Then stir in the red pepper flakes and dill as well as the diced bacon and asparagus.
5
Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden and cooked through (the center shouldn't jiggle).
6
When done remove it from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
