I’m going to share my first recipe, for an easy but simply delicious tart, filled with tangy gruyere cheese and topped with beautiful green asparagus. This tart is a winner and my guests always love it ♥♥♥
Ingredients:-
- 2 eggs
- 180ml cream
- 1 teaspoon plain flour
- salt & pepper
- 80gms gruyere cheese – coarsely grated
- 2 bunches of asparagus – steamed for 2 minutes.
- 1 small onion – sliced thinly
- 20gms butter
- pastry of your choice (or sour cream pastry)
Method:-
- I usually make a sour cream pastry, which is absolutely divine with a savory tart or quiche, but if you are not into making pastry (not as hard a you many think but totally worth it) just use a good brand ready rolled short crust pastry.
- Grease a tart tin of your choice, here I use a long one which I find easy to cut into pieces, then place pastry into the tin, being careful not to stretch it, using your thumb to remove extra from the edge.
- Place a sheet of baking paper on top and some baking beads or rice, and bake at 180°C for 15 minutes, take baking paper off, and bake for another 5 minutes until pastry is set.
- Saute onion in 20gms butter on low heat for 8 mins until softened but not browned.
- Place on top of pastry, add grated cheese on top, then steamed asparagus.
- Whip eggs, cream, flour, salt and pepper together in a large jug, then pour on top of asparagus
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and nicely puffed up.
- Serve immediately as the combination of eggs, flour and cheese makes this delightful tart puff up like a souffle.
