Asparagus Tart

Asparagus Tart

I can’t believe this is already day 4 of #BrunchWeek! When I saw that Michigan Asparagus was one of the sponsors, I knew that I had to use asparagus in some kind of dish! Being a Michigan girl and a huge asparagus fan, Michigan asparagus is really the perfect food for me.  I decided to use the asparagus to make an easy asparagus tart.  You just need 5 simple ingredients and this recipe can be made for brunch or as an appetizer.  This asparagus tart perfect for spring and summer with the fresh flavors of the asparagus! If you want to jazz up this asparagus tart even more, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze on it right before you serve it.  Not balsamic vinaigrette, but balsamic glaze.  It is a lot thicker and it adds a great flavor to the tart.

Make sure to check out my Snickerdoodle Pancakes, Buttermilk Scones, and Everything Bagel Crackers from #BrunchWeek so far if you want to take brunch to the next level!

Asparagus Tart with Puff Pastry

Common questions about making an asparagus tart

What can I use instead of gruyere cheese?

You can substitute it for swiss, emmental, or jarlsberg.  All of these cheeses will taste great with the asparagus.

When is asparagus season?

For the U.S. it is in the spring.  If you live in Michigan, keep your eyes out for local asparagus from about April to June.

    This would be perfect for Mother’s Day brunch! I love fresh asparagus and what a perfect way to incorporate it into a recipe. I would definitely do the balsamic glaze too.

    I would probably just stand by this dish and keep picking at it until the plate was empty.
