Best Recipe for Savory Spring Vegetable and Goat Cheese Tart
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought pie crust
- All-purpose flour (for surface)
- 2 bunches asparagus (about 1 1/4 pounds total), trimmed, peeled if thick
- 5 spring onions or 12 scallions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
- 3 large eggs
- Special equipment: A 10" tart pan with removable bottom
Instructions
- Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surface to a 12" round. Transfer to tart pan and press onto bottom and up sides. Bake crust according to package instructions. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut off top 1 1/2" of asparagus tips; reserve. Slice stalks into 1/4" rounds. Cut white bulbs from spring onions; trim and quarter (halve if using scallions). Slice pale-green parts into 1/4" pieces. Toss asparagus tips and spring onion bulbs in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on prepared sheet; roast, turning once, until onions begin to brown and asparagus is bright green and tender, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sliced asparagus and pale-green parts of spring onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and asparagus is bright green and tender, 6-8 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan. Spread evenly over bottom of tart crust.
- Whisk cheese and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in eggs. Pour over vegetables. Scatter asparagus tips and spring onion bulbs over.
- Bake tart until edges of crust are golden brown and filling is set, 20-22 minutes. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Remove sides of pan. Serve tart warm or at room temperature.
