1
Prepare the quiche pastry with flour, one egg, butter, 20g of cold water, and a pinch of salt. Knead everything until you obtain a homogeneous dough, then shape it into a circular form. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour.
2
In a pan, heat the oil and add the chopped shallot, then after a few minutes, add the asparagus that you've previously cleaned and sliced into rounds. Add salt, a small cup of water, and cook covered for 5 minutes, then uncover and let excess water evaporate.
3
Prepare the filling with ricotta, Parmesan cheese, one egg, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, basil, and mint. Add the cooked and cooled asparagus and mix well.
4
Roll out the dough into a circular shape. The diameter of the dough should be larger than the baking pan; for example, for a 25 cm pan, the dough diameter will be about 28 cm. Line the oiled baking pan with the dough and add the filling.
5
Cut the Mutti cherry tomatoes in half and sprinkle them on top. Dust with salt, pepper, and distribute a teaspoon of honey, for an extra touch.
6
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan-assisted) for 30 minutes.
