- Meanwhile, add the butter to a skillet and melt over medium heat. Add in the diced onion and saute for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic, diced bell pepper and diced asparagus. Saute for 3-4 more minutes, then add in the spinach and cook just until wilted. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs, half and half and spices together for about 1 minute. Add in the sauteed veggies, and whisk to combine.
- Pour into the bar baked pie crust and bake at 350 for about 45-55 minutes or until the center is just set. Let cool for 15-20 minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
