Spring asparagus tart step by step
- 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 lightl.
- In case you are like me and do not keep mascarpone in your frig, here is a good substitute: 4 ounce package cream cheese 1⁄8 cup heavy whipping cream 1 1⁄4 tablespoons sour cream. Makes about 1/4 cup more than you need for this recipe..
- Note: In my opinion, the asparagus should be steamed first. They did not cook enough in the tart. Also the tart was a little bland, I would put some lemon juice in the mascarpone mixture. I will try it again. But it looked pretty!.
