Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (a 9 1/2- by 9-inch sheet from a 17.3-ounce package)
1 cup mascarpone
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 large egg, beaten
1 lemon, zest finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 pound pencil asparagus, woody bottoms trimmed off
1 tablespoon olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Lightly dressed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the puff pastry to a 9- by 12-inch even rectangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Combine the mascarpone, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt, the flour, egg and lemon zest, and then fold in the chives and tarragon. Spread over the puff pastry, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Make small cuts around the border about 1 inch apart with the tip of a paring knife.
  • Toss the asparagus with the olive oil in a bowl. Lay half of the asparagus in a neat row across the surface of the tart so the tips meet the edge. Do the same in the opposite direction with the remaining asparagus. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Bake until the border of the tart is deep golden and puffed and the top is lightly spotted golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes and serve.
  • Serve with lightly dressed greens.

This tart was absolutely delicious! The asparagus was tender and flavorful, and the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. I loved the flaky crust and the overall presentation. Will definitely make it again.

I'm a big fan of asparagus, so I was excited to try this recipe. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The tart was bland and the crust was soggy. I won't be making this again.

Overall, this tart was a success. The flavors were great and the presentation was lovely. However, I found the recipe to be a bit time-consuming. Next time, I might try a simpler version.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the crust and the filling was too runny. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tart didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was bland. Maybe I'll try it again with some modifications.

Easy to follow recipe, and the tart was delicious! I used a store-bought puff pastry to save time, and it still turned out great. My husband loved it.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but this tart changed my mind. The flavors and textures were so well-balanced that I couldn't resist going back for seconds. Will definitely make it again!

The asparagus tart turned out beautifully! The pastry was golden brown and flaky, and the filling was perfectly balanced. I loved the contrast between the tender asparagus and the sharp cheese. It was a hit at my dinner party.
