Preheat oven to 375F Place crab meat in bottom of pastry shell. Cut bottom parts of asparagus spears into half-inch slices and scatter over crab. Scatter parmesan over asparagus. Beat eggs and milk together, and season to taste with nutmeg, cayenne and salt. Pour over crab/asparagus mixture. Arrange reserved asparagus tips in a spoke-like pattern on top.
