Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Flour, for work surface
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
5 1/2 ounces (2 cups) Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 1/2 pounds medium or thick asparagus

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (about 1/2 pound), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 cup grated fontina cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 cup grated comte or gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons whole milk
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large skillet.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Arrange the asparagus on the tart and bake until the cheese mixture is slightly puffy, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon zest. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ASPARAGUS AND GRUYèRE TART



Asparagus and Gruyère Tart image

Categories     Cheese     Bake     Asparagus     Spring     Swiss Cheese     Gourmet

Yield Make 8 (lunch main-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Black Pepper and Sour Cream Pastry Dough
3 pounds thick white or green asparagus, trimmed to 6 inches and peeled
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for sprinkling
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup finely grated Gruyère
Special Equipment
a round pizza pan (13 inches in diameter, not including rim) and pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Roll out pastry dough on a floured surface into a 15 1/2-inch round. Transfer to pizza pan by rolling dough around rolling pin and unrolling it across pan. Trim edge just enough to make even, then fold over and pinch to form a 1/2-inch-high, double-thick side. Prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

  • Prepare filling while shell cools:
  • Layer asparagus on a steamer rack, sprinkling each layer with kosher salt to taste. Steam, covered, over boiling water until completely tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes for green asparagus or 12 for white, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Whisk together cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and nutmeg, then season lightly with pepper. Pour custard evenly in tart shell.
  • Top filling and bake tart:
  • Sprinkle custard with two thirds of cheese, then arrange spears in custard, tips out (like the spokes of a wheel). Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
  • Bake tart in middle of oven until custard is set, about 20 minutes.
  • Then broil tart 2 to 3 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

ASPARAGUS, LEEK & GRUYERE TART IN TARRAGON SAVORY CUSTARD



Asparagus, Leek & Gruyere Tart in Tarragon Savory Custard image

Excellent recipe for brunch, also makes great leftovers and freezes well. Tastes delicious warm or at room temperature. I have also lightened the recipe at times by omitting the Gruyere cheese completely and also gotten excellent results with the same cooking time. The pie crust is worth the effort to make from scratch, although a pre-made puff pastry crust may also be used to cut prep time. The recipe was given to me by a friend, which I then modified.

Provided by Daisy D Petals

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 Tart, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/8 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 medium leek, quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch pieces (white and pale green parts only)
1 lb medium asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
2 eggs
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Make pastry.
  • Mix together flour, salt, and butter in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with egg and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) just until a dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Make filling while pastry chills.
  • Wash leek in a bowl of cold water, agitating water, then lift out leek and pat dry.
  • Cook asparagus in a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut off and reserve tips (leave more stalk if asparagus is thin), then thinly slice stalks crosswise. Set 6 or so pieces of the asparagus aside for decoration, if you choose to.
  • Heat butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook leek with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in remainder of sliced asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and quickly remove from heat.
  • Finish filling and assemble and bake tart.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into an 11-inch round, then fit dough inside 10" tart pan, pressing dough against bottom edge and side of ring. Run rolling pin over top edge of ring to cut off excess dough.
  • Whisk together cream, 2 eggs, tarragon, leeks and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spoon asparagus into shell, spreading evenly, then pour cream mixture over asparagus.
  • Bake tart until filling is just beginning to set but still loose on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Scatter 6 or so asparagus tips set aside earlier over top, pressing lightly if necessary to help them settle into filling, then continue to bake until custard is golden and just set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 30 minutes more (custard will continue to set as it cools).
  • Cool tart on baking sheet on a rack until warm, about 30 minutes. Loosen edge with a small sharp knife, then lift off flan ring. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

ASPARAGUS CUSTARD TART



Asparagus Custard Tart image

This tart is unapologetically rich-there is puff pastry, Gruyere, goat cheese, and cream-yet the overall effect is one of lightness. It's a handy make-ahead addition to a festive spring brunch spread, but paired with a green salad, it also makes a satisfying supper on its own.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 3h

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
Coarse salt
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces, stalks and tips kept separate
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 ounces Gruyere cheese, finely shredded (1/2 cup)
2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled into large pieces (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Roll out puff pastry into a 14-inch square on a lightly floured surface; cut into a 13-inch round with a paring knife (use a bowl or a plate as a template). Transfer to a 9-inch round baking dish or a 5 1/2-to-6-cup deep-dish pie plate. Prick all over with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place on a baking sheet and bake until edges turn pale golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove crust from oven and remove pie weights and parchment. Return crust to oven and bake until bottom is dry and golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add asparagus stalks and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water; when cool, transfer to a plate and pat dry. Add asparagus tips to boiling water and cook 30 seconds. Drain and transfer to ice water; drain when cool. Pat tips dry and toss with oil in a bowl. Transfer stalks to a blender. Add eggs, cream, flour, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to blender and puree until very smooth.
  • Pour custard into crust. Sprinkle with Gruyere and goat cheese and top with asparagus tips. Bake until edges of custard are puffed, top is golden brown, and center is set, about 40 minutes. (Tent with foil if necessary to prevent overbrowning.) Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes before serving.
