Asparagus Quiche

A favorite from the menu at Gautreau's 

1. To make the crust, combine the first 3 ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. Slowly drizzle in ice water until a ball forms. Chill and roll to fit a 9 inch pie pan.
2. In a medium sauté pan melt the butter, and slowly sweat the garlic, shallots, asparagus, thyme until tender.
3. Cool. Mix the eggs and heavy cream in a bowl. Add the asparagus mixture, salt, pepper, parsley and chives.
4. Pour into the crust. Bake at 325 F for 50 minutes to an hour. Should look set when done.
