Set aside until required. 2 Whisk eggs, cream, milk and cheeses together and set aside. 3 Slice onion and cut bacon into strips. 4 Melt butter in a pan and cook onion and bacon for 2 minutes until tender. 5 Spread onion-bacon mixture evenly over pastry. Top with well drained asparagus spears. Pour over egg mixture and sprinkle with paprika.
