Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Flour, for work surface
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

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.

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.

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.

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg frozen puff pastry (phyllo dough)
c flour for work surface
5 1/2 oz gruyere cheese (2 cups shredded)
1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus
1 Tbsp olive oil
pinch salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Flour surface and roll puff pastry out into a 12 X 7 inch rectangle. (You can adjust it for your dish)
  • 2. With a sharp knife, cut 1 inch in from the edges every 1/2 inch over so you can braid the edges over for prettiness or leave straight as it keeps from puffing up too much.
  • 3. Bake until very lightly golden about 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Watch it carefully!
  • 4. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit across the shell in a single layer. I alternate ends and tips sometimes. Brush with oil, season with salt & pepper and bake until tender 20 to 25 minutes. I will use Sherry Parfait's method of pre-cooking spears in olive oil in a skillet, just a little first to soften them before I bake them.

Categories     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 10 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

Flour, for work surface
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

Steps:

  • Step 1 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. Step 2 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

Tips:

  • Prep the Asparagus Correctly: Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus and peel the bottom inch or two of each stalk if desired for a more tender texture.
  • Use Good Quality Gruyère Cheese: Freshly grated Gruyère cheese provides the best flavor and texture to the tart.
  • Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Cook the asparagus until just tender-crisp, as overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a Pre-Baked Tart Shell: This will save you time and ensure a flaky, golden crust.
  • Chill the Tart Before Slicing: Chilling the tart for at least 30 minutes before slicing will help it hold its shape better.

Conclusion:

This asparagus Gruyère tart is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of asparagus, Gruyère cheese, and a flaky crust is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make this tart at home.
