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.
Conclusion:
This asparagus tart with prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, the prosciutto adds a salty and savory touch, and the cheese binds it all together.
