Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh asparagus that is firm and green. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • To prevent the asparagus from becoming tough, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before adding it to the tart.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a pie plate instead. Just be sure to trim the edges of the dough so that they fit inside the plate.
  • To make sure the tart is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the tart is done.
  • Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the tart to set.
