1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Add hazelnut flour, all-purpose flour, salt, rosemary, thyme, and softened butter into a bowl and mix until it comes together to form a ball.
3. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water.
4. Lightly flour the ball of dough and roll it out on parchment paper. Once it is big enough to fit your pie pan, flip the dough into the pie pan.
5. Par bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.
6. Wash asparagus and snap off any woody ends and discard. Dice up half of the asparagus and save a few sprigs to decorate the top.
7. In a larger bowl, thoroughly beat the eggs. Add half & half, cheddar cheese, nutmeg, salt, cayenne pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
8. Place the diced asparagus into the bottom of the crust. Slowly pour the egg mixture on top of the asparagus. Top the quiche with the reserved asparagus.
9. Bake quiche for 25 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 for an additional 10-25 minutes until the eggs are set.
