Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bunch fresh asparagus tips, reserve stems for Round 2 Recipe
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained well, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the frozen pie crust onto a baking sheet. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Saute the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on a paper towel. Add onion and asparagus tips to the skillet with the bacon fat and saute until tender, approximately 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl whisk together ricotta, milk and eggs. Add parsley, half the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add asparagus and onion mixture and combine well. Pour egg mixture into the prepared crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until filling has set and the tart is lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, toss the remaining tomatoes with the basil, balsamic vinegar and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve as garnish for tart.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved this tart. The tomatoes and goat cheese really balance out the flavor of the asparagus.

The crust is flaky and buttery. It's the perfect base for the asparagus and tomatoes.

The goat cheese adds a nice tanginess to the tart. It's a great balance to the sweetness of the tomatoes.

This tart is a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble it in the morning and then bake it just before dinner.

Overall, I thought the tart was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I'll try pre-baking it next time.

The asparagus and tomato tart was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This asparagus and tomato tart was a delightful surprise! The flavors of the roasted vegetables and the creamy goat cheese blended perfectly. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
