      1/2  Lb.           bacon -- cooked crisp
    2      Tsp.          Dijon-style mustard
    1                    pastry shell -- (9-inch)
    1      Pkg.          frozen -- (10 oz.)
                         asparagus or 1 lb. fresh
                         asparagus -- cut to 1-inch
    1      Piece         , cooked tender-crisp and well drained
    3                    eggs
    1      C.            Swiss cheese -- cut into 1/4-inch
                         cubes
    1      C.            whipping cream -- half and half or
                         undiluted evaporated milk
    1      Dash          salt
      1/4  Tsp.          black pepper
    1      Tsp.          dried tarragon
    1      Tsp.          savory leaves
 
 Drain and crumble the bacon. Set aside. Brush mustard
 evenly over bottom and sides of pastry shell. Bake shell at
 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until firm, but not completely browned.
 Sprinkle baked crust with the bacon and arrange cooked, drained
 asparagus over. Sprinkle with half the Swiss cheese. Mix
 eggs, cream, salt, pepper, tarragon and savory. Pour over
 mixture in the shell. Top with remaining Swiss cheese. Return
 to oven and bake about 25 to 35 minutes or until quiche is set
 in center (a butter knife inserted in the center comes out
 clean).
