We also gave the filling a flavorful boost with Gruyere cheese and a touch of Dijon mustard.

Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.

Reserve drippings in skillet, and let cool slightly.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer asparagus to a medium bowl.

Transfer to preheated oven, and bake until lightly golden, about 30 minutes.

Remove skillet from oven, and scatter asparagus over crust.

Pour egg mixture over asparagus, and return to oven.

Bake until egg mixture is just set, 20 to 25 minutes more.

Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
