asparagus tart
It is asparagus season here in Georgia! This very simple and versatile recipe is inspired by this crisp, Spring vegetable. There are just a few quick steps to prep this tart and make an impressive and delicious dish.
For the sake of ease I used a frozen puff pastry dough. Unfold the pastry onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. I used a small log of plain goat cheese and crumbled the entire thing over the surface of the pastry leaving about 1/2 inch along the edges. Lay your asparagus (with the bottom woody stalks trimmed off) across the cheese and dough. I topped mine with a sprinkling of olive oil and Pet Pet Togarashi seasoning. You could simply use salt and pepper or even scatter chopped garden herbs over the top. Another additional option is whisking 1 whole egg and painting the pastry edges with the egg wash. Not necessary, but does bring a golden crisp to the crust.
Place the tart into a 400* oven for 30 minutes or until the edges of the pastry turn golden. Enjoy hot or room temperature!
