Melt butter in a saucepan and add in the onions, asparagus, and garlic.
Cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes until onions are slightly transparent.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes while the crust finishes cooking. Beat eggs and heavy whipping cream until fluffy.
Add in the asparagus mixture to the eggs, stir, and then pour into crust.
Sprinkle top with some cracked black pepper and a little salt. Place cherry tomatoes and asparagus spears on top.
Bake an additional 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Center should be firm and edges slightly brown.
