Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, egg, and salt to make the crust. Mix well until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a greased 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté until they are crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Spread the sautéed asparagus evenly over the pre-baked crust. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the asparagus.
7. Place the quiche in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
