Steps
Preheat your oven to 350.
Press the pie crust into a greased quiche pan. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork in three spots. Place on a cookie sheet and bake the pie crust for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese and 2/3 c. Parmesan and microwave for 1 minute. Spread the cheese mixture over the par-baked crust and top with the cubed ham.
Whisk the eggs, cream, green onion and 1/4 tsp. salt and slowly pour over the ham and cheese mixture.
Arrange the spears of asparagus around the quiche in a circular pattern. Spray the top of the quiche with non-stick spray and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp. of salt and remaining Parmesan.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the eggs are set and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
The very center will still have a slight jiggle when moved, but will set as it rests.

Barb on 2020-06-07 (5 stars): I have made this numerous times for dinner and it is the best ever. I’ve made it for someone who had surgery and received many compliments. I made it for guests and they asked for the recipe. The only thing I do differently from the instructions is that I soften the cream cheese by itself then after stirring add the Parmesan. I had the Parmesan clump after doing it the way the directions instruct. Highly recommend this recipe. I’d like to try it with crab some day.

Christina on 2017-06-25 (2 stars): I baked this for over an hour and it never set (nor the crust finished baking). There aren't enough eggs to actually call this a quiche. As tasty as the filling was, it was a soupy mess.
