Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add asparagus; cook, stirring often, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add ham and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is lightly browned and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk eggs, milk, half-and-half, chives, mustard, pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Fold in the asparagus mixture and cheese. Spoon into the prepared pie pan. Bake until set and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Slice and garnish with additional chives, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
