How do you make Asparagus and Cheese Tarts?
This recipe is really easy and it uses less than 10 ingredients to make. Sometimes recipes can be super annoying when they have such a long list of ingredients that you know you’re going to spend a fortune restocking your pantry, but also they can be very time-consuming. This Asparagus and Cheese Tart recipe is exactly the opposite. Make it in less than 35 minutes and you’ll have a tasty appetizer that is perfect for your next dinner party or just as a quick and easy snack. To make this recipe, start with preheating your oven to 400F and lining your baking sheet with lightly greased parchment. Next, use a rolling pin to gently roll out puff pastry and aim for a rectangle around the same size as your baking sheet. Transfer your pastry to the baking sheet and score the edges and poke holes into the pastry with a fork throughout. This lets any hot air escape so you don’t end up with bubbles in your pastry. It’s now time for the garlic confit. Add the confit and fresh thyme to the puffed pastry. You can randomly crush some pieces of garlic and leave others whole. Arrange the asparagus as you please (have fun and get creative). Finally, add the cheese and bake the tart for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and puffed up. Serve this baby immediately cut into triangles or squares, and I HIGHLY recommend you serve this with honey because the savory and sweet goes so dang good together for a yummy fall appetizer.
How do I make this recipe vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, there are a few substitutes you’ll want to make. For starters, you can switch out the cheese I used for your favorite vegan cheese. Use whatever your preference is here. The cheese I used is a hard yellow Swiss cheese, but you can really use whatever your fav is. It may give it a different flavor combination, but you really can’t go wrong with cheese. Next, you’ll want to drizzle the end product with maple syrup instead of honey. Maple syrup also adds that sweetness and it’s a great vegan alternative for this yummy Asparagus and Cheese Tart.
