Asparagus and Sweet Pepper Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 chilled sheet of shortcrust pastry (see the shortcrust pastry recipe here)
• 1/3 cup chopped roasted asparagus
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped canned sweet pepper
• 1/3 cup diced onion, fried in oil
• 1/2 cup diced smoked pork belly
• 3/4 - 1 tbsp. grated Jarlsberg cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups cream
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 9-inch round baking pan with butter. Pour the dough into the pan and spread it evenly, including the edges. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Place the cake in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.
2. Prepare the filling: Combine asparagus, bell pepper, fried onion, meat, and cheese in a bowl. Beat eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and paprika in a separate bowl.
3. Spread the filling evenly over the crust and pour the egg mixture over it. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the filling is set. Remove the pie from the oven and cool for 30 minutes.
