I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this tart. The leeks and cheese balanced out the flavor of the asparagus perfectly.

This tart was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have added more herbs and spices to the filling.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly. I think I might have needed to bake it for a little longer.

The asparagus leek tart was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter filling.

I love quiche and this asparagus leek tart is one of my favorites. The crust is always flaky and the filling is creamy and flavorful.

This tart was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The asparagus and leeks were perfectly cooked and the cheese was melted and gooey. I served it with a simple green salad and it was a perfect meal.
