Asparagus Gruyère Tart

Anyone else obsessing over asparagus right now? I’ve been picking up a bunch nearly every time I hit the grocery store and I’m so thankful that it is vibrant green, crisp, and fresh. No wilted, sad asparagus in sight. Can I get a hallelujah?

So, sorry to say this Ben, we’ll be eating asparagus with every meal this summer. Grilled, sautéed, roasted, pickled, ribboned, and any other way I can get it. Actually, he’s probably fine with it…it’s one of his favorite vegetables.

Famous last words?

Perfect for spring, this Asparagus Gruyère Tart is a show-stopping addition to any brunch or appetizer table. You won't believe how easy it is to make! 

About this asparagus Gruyère tart:

Honestly, this sucker is easy to make. The hardest part is rolling out the puff pastry dough, but that’s really simple too. Just make sure you’re rolling it out on a floured surface and using a floured rolling pin. It doesn’t have to be perfectly sized or perfectly square. Just make it as big as you’re comfortable making it, so that it takes up almost your entire sheet pan.

Once you’ve finished that step, you get to prick it with a fork which is oddly fun. Then, smear it with Dijon. I started with a brush but actually ended up using my hands to get it evenly spread over the dough.

Cheese, asparagus, cheese…and bake!

Perfect for spring, this Asparagus Gruyère Tart is a show-stopping addition to any brunch or appetizer table. You won't believe how easy it is to make! 

Once the asparagus Gruyère tart is baked, I top it with my favorite balsamic glaze and serve immediately. You could also try it with homemade balsamic reduction which is so easy to make! It would be a great addition to a brunch or as part of an appetizer spread. (It would go great with wine!)

Looking for more ways to eat asparagus? Try:

 

  • Asparagus and leek frittata
  • One pan lemon pasta with asparagus, sausage, and dill
  • Grilled pizza with ricotta, asparagus, and sausage
  • Salmon and asparagus sheet pan dinner with potatoes
  • Spring orzo salad with asparagus, arugula, and pine nuts

Perfect for spring, this asparagus Gruyère tart is a show-stopping addition to any brunch or appetizer table. You won’t believe how easy it is to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 bunch asparagus, washed and tough ends trimmed (I used about 20 stalks)
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry to approximately 11×14 inches using a floured rolling pin. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Prick puff pastry all over, with a fork.
  • Brush evenly with Dijon mustard.
  • Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, spread out asparagus evenly on top of cheese, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and tart is golden brown. Best served immediately.

Verdict: So good! I love the crispness of the asparagus contrasted with the richness of the Gruyère. The tanginess that both the Dijon and the balsamic bring to the situation is just perfect.
Husband’s take: He loves this asparagus gruyère tart. He did mention how rich it was – this is definitely a dish for sharing and not one for devouring by yourself.
Changes I would make: None are necessary! My friend Alice of Hip Foodie Mom recently did a similar recipe and used both peas and pea shoots on hers – I love that idea. It’s so springy and fresh…and very beautiful!
Difficulty: Very easy.

    I made this tonight for a quick dinner……so easy and delicious! I will definitely make it again. I think I will try to add some roasted garlic to it. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing!

    I made this but did not have dejon mustard so I mixed yellow mustard and mayo.  I put it on the pastry and followed the recipe.  Turned out wonderful.  My guests gobbled it up.

    I want to make this for brunch. I like to have my items almost ready when guests arrive. Would the puff pastry be able to withstand getting fully ‘dressed’ with this recipe and sitting in the fridge (probably sealed with plastic to prevent drying out) for a couple of hours? Or does it really need to be done right before serving?

      I haven’t tested it that way so I can’t guarantee it, but I think it would be fine!

      Can you leave this fully dressed in the fridge for a couple of hours then bake it

        That should be fine. Make sure to dry the asparagus well after washing it so there isn’t any added moisture. The balsamic glaze should be added after baking.

    This SO reminds me of springtime. Of course we love asparagus any time of the year though.
