Asparagus and cheese pie

I'm off of dairy products, but my husband and official food tester said that this was quite tasty.

Ingredients
1 lb asparagus
0.5 cup flour
1.25 cup milk
3 eggs
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon zest
0.25 cup shredded parmesan cheese
salt

Preparation
Clean the asparagus and cut into 0.5 inch pieces.

Butter a 9 inch pie dish. Preheat the oven to 350F oven. Add the asparagus to the pie dish.

Whisk up the flour, salt, black pepper and milk. Add the eggs and beat into the batter. Fold in your choice of cheese.

Pour the batter on top of the asparagus and bake for 40-45 minutes. Serve.
