Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).

Roll out two pie doughs stacked together and fit into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate.

Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk together 6 eggs.

Add 1 cup of milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix well.

Fold in 1 cup of ricotta cheese into the egg mixture.

Add chopped asparagus and 1 cup of gruyere cheese in layers to the pie crust.

Pour the egg and ricotta mixture over the asparagus and gruyere, ensuring even coverage.

Place the pie plate on a baking sheet and use crust guards around the rim.

Bake at 425°F for about 45 minutes until the quiche is set with a slight jiggle in the middle.
