💭 Recipe Tips

Fresh Asparagus: Use fresh, tender asparagus. Trim the ends and cut into equal pieces for even cooking.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Let eggs and cream cheese warm up to room temperature before mixing. This makes them mix better and bake evenly.
Pre-Bake the Crust: Bake the pie crust first to avoid it getting soggy. This makes the crust crisp and firm.
Even Ingredients: Spread the salmon, asparagus, and cream cheese evenly in the crust. This gives each slice a good mix of fillings.
Check Cooking: Bake until the center is set and risen. Use a knife or toothpick to check; it should come out clean.
