ASPARAGUS GRUYERE TART



Asparagus Gruyere Tart image

This is from Canadian Living's Best Recipes Ever show. It is a great appetizer when you are looking for something a little different. I used the prerolled puff pastry for this, just unroll, and use the parchment to line your baking pan. It can be served warm or chilled.

ASPARAGUS AND GRUYèRE TART



Asparagus and Gruyère Tart image

Categories     Cheese     Bake     Asparagus     Spring     Swiss Cheese     Gourmet

Yield Make 8 (lunch main-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Black Pepper and Sour Cream Pastry Dough
3 pounds thick white or green asparagus, trimmed to 6 inches and peeled
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for sprinkling
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup finely grated Gruyère
Special Equipment
a round pizza pan (13 inches in diameter, not including rim) and pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Roll out pastry dough on a floured surface into a 15 1/2-inch round. Transfer to pizza pan by rolling dough around rolling pin and unrolling it across pan. Trim edge just enough to make even, then fold over and pinch to form a 1/2-inch-high, double-thick side. Prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake in middle of oven until sides are firm, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and weights carefully and bake shell until golden, about 10 minutes more, then cool.
  • Prepare filling while shell cools:
  • Layer asparagus on a steamer rack, sprinkling each layer with kosher salt to taste. Steam, covered, over boiling water until completely tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes for green asparagus or 12 for white, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Whisk together cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and nutmeg, then season lightly with pepper. Pour custard evenly in tart shell.
  • Top filling and bake tart:
  • Sprinkle custard with two thirds of cheese, then arrange spears in custard, tips out (like the spokes of a wheel). Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
  • Bake tart in middle of oven until custard is set, about 20 minutes.
  • Then broil tart 2 to 3 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (about 1/2 pound), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 cup grated fontina cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 cup grated comte or gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons whole milk
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus; cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Drain and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking; drain and pat dry. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out the puff pastry into a 10-by-16-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake until light golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, mix the fontina, comte, shallot, egg yolks, milk, nutmeg and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until combined. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Arrange the asparagus on the tart and bake until the cheese mixture is slightly puffy, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon zest. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet frozen puff pastry
5 1/2 ounces (2 cups) Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 1/2 pounds medium or thick asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper

ASPARAGUS GRUYèRE TART



Asparagus Gruyère Tart image

Categories     Salad     Bake     Buffet     Asparagus     Potluck     Pastry

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Flour, for work surface
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed according to package instructions
5 1/2 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded (2 cups)
1 1/2 pounds medium or thick asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place the pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score the dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce the dough inside the markings at half-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pastry shell from the oven, and sprinkle with the cheese. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over the cheese, alternating ends and tips. Brush with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Scoring the Dough
  • Use a sharp knife to ensure that the edges rise evenly; pricking the center of the pastry with a fork keeps it from puffing up too high as it bakes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm, straight, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, woody, or have open tips.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Gruyère cheese is a classic choice for asparagus tart, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Parmesan, Cheddar, or Gouda. Experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature: Asparagus tart can be served warm or at room temperature. If you are serving the tart warm, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and Gruyère tart is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its combination of fresh asparagus, creamy cheese, and flaky crust, asparagus and Gruyère tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
