Description

A delightful and elegant asparagus and goat cheese tart featuring flaky puff pastry, fresh asparagus, and a creamy goat cheese custard baked to golden perfection. This savory tart is perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, combining fresh seasonal flavors with a rich, creamy filling.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry

Filling

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus
  • 4 oz creamy goat cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your tart evenly.
  2. Prepare the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Carefully transfer it into a greased tart pan, pressing it to cover the base and sides evenly.
  3. Make the custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese, distributing it evenly through the mixture.
  4. Assemble the tart: Arrange the asparagus spears neatly over the puff pastry base, then carefully pour the egg and goat cheese mixture over the asparagus, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • You can trim the woody ends of the asparagus for a more tender bite.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme, chives, or parsley complement the tart nicely.
  • If desired, substitute the goat cheese with ricotta or cream cheese for a milder flavor.
  • Ensure the puff pastry sheet is fully thawed for easier handling and better texture.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste and texture.
