Steps:
- For the dough: Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until the butter forms pea-size or smaller pieces. Transfer the flour mixture to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whisk the water into the sour cream in a small bowl. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the sour cream mixture and mix until a dough comes together. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and form into discs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the filling: Season the asparagus with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast on a baking sheet for 5 minutes and then set aside. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Let cook and then combine with the asparagus in a medium bowl. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Blend the cream cheese with the 1/4 cup cream on low speed in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the garlic, pepper flakes, lemon juice, cumin and thyme and blend until combined.
- Whisk together the egg, 2 tablespoons heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Set the egg wash aside. Lightly dust a work surface and roll each of the chilled discs of dough into 6-inch rounds. Spread about 1/8 cup of the cream cheese mixture into a 3-inch circle in the center of each round. Top with one-sixth of the asparagus and mushrooms, forming a heaping pile. Pleat the dough around the vegetables to frame them. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle it with Maldon salt.
- Transfer the galettes to the prepared baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at 1/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Remove pastry shell from oven, and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE AND TARRAGON TART
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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, use a fork or a wooden spoon to mash together the goat cheese, egg, garlic, tarragon, lemon zest, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Switch to a whisk and beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 13-by-11-inch rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry.
- Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Line up the asparagus spears on top, and brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle some salt and the grated Parmesan over the asparagus.
- Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool on the cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours before serving. Then sprinkle black pepper, red-pepper flakes (if using), the shaved Parmesan and tarragon leaves. Drizzle a little oil on top.
ASPARAGUS AND GRUYèRE TART
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.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, cut the asparagus and mushrooms into uniform sizes.
- For a more intense flavor, roast the asparagus and mushrooms before adding them to the tarts.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin or ramekins instead.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations.
- To save time, you can use pre-made puff pastry dough.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and mushroom tarts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a truly impressive meal that will wow your friends and family.
