Asparagus Tart with Bacon Recipe

Embed
    10 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, Thawed and rolled out to an 11x17 rectangle
  • 1 pound Asparagus, Washed and trimmed
  • 1 cup Shredded Swiss Cheese
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 large Egg Yolks
  • 1/4 cup Light Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 4 ounces Crumbled Cooked Bacon, About 4 strips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. On a lightly floured surface roll out the puff pastry and prick it all over with fork tins. Place it on the lined baking sheet and bake it for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. It won’t be fully baked at this point, but it will be firmed up. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool while you make the filling.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the asparagus for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until it can be easily speared with a fork. Drain the asparagus and immediately run it under freezing cold tap water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the cheese, egg yolks, cream, and salt. Spread this mixture on the baked pastry leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Arrange the asparagus on top in one even layer. Dot it evenly the crumbled bacon. Bake the entire tart for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is a deep golden brown and the filling has puffed up. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
