Asparagus and Cheese Tart image

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.

CHEESY ASPARAGUS TART



Cheesy Asparagus Tart image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons salted butter
2 large leeks, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce package refrigerated rolled pie dough (2 crusts)
2 cups grated fontina cheese
1 cup ricotta
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the leeks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Unroll the two pie crusts and lay on a sheet pan so that the pieces overlap slightly. Trim the edges of the pastry where it rides up the sides of the sheet pan and press these trimmings into the bare areas so that you are left with a 10-by-16-inch pastry rectangle.
  • Sprinkle over the fontina, leaving a 1-inch border, then top with the leeks. Dollop on the ricotta. Scatter the thyme and asparagus pieces over the ricotta and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the uncovered pastry edge inwards to make a 1/2-inch border all the way around the tart, in the style of a galette.
  • Whisk the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Brush it all around the pastry edge.
  • Bake the tart until it is a deep golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. (If the crust is browning too fast, reduce the heat to 425 degrees F.)
  • Remove the tart from the oven, then allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 6x9-inch sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE AND TARRAGON TART



Asparagus, Goat Cheese and Tarragon Tart image

Because you don't have to make your own crust, this gorgeous asparagus-striped tart is so easy it almost feels like cheating. But it's not. It's just simple yet stunning, effortlessly chic and company-ready. As there are so few ingredients in this recipe that each one makes an impact, be sure to buy a good all-butter brand of puff pastry. If you can manage to serve this tart warm, within an hour of baking, it will be at its absolute best, with crisp pastry that shatters into buttery bits when you bite down and still-runny cheese. But it's also excellent a few hours later, should you want to get all your baking done before your guests arrive. If tarragon isn't your favorite herb, you can use chives, basil or mint instead. And if you can manage to trim all the asparagus to the same length, this tart will be especially neat and orderly looking.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup goat cheese, at room temperature (4 ounces)
1 large egg, lightly beaten, at room temperature

1/2 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup crème fraîche, at room temperature (8 ounces)

Freshly ground black pepper
Red-pepper flakes (optional)

Tips:

- To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overmixing the dough, as this can make it tough. - For a more flavorful crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs to the dough. - To prevent the asparagus from becoming soggy, cook it until it is just tender-crisp. You can do this by sautéing it in a hot skillet or roasting it in a hot oven. - If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a pie pan or a 9-inch round baking dish. Just be sure to trim the edges of the dough so that they fit the pan. - To make the tart ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe instructions and then let it cool completely. Wrap the tart tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the tart in a preheated oven until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

This Cheesy Asparagus Tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The flaky crust, creamy cheese filling, and tender-crisp asparagus make this tart a hit with everyone who tries it. With a few simple tips, you can make this tart even more flavorful and enjoyable.
