Ingredients

  • 400 g green asparagus
  • 200 g crème fraîche
  • 1 egg
  • Salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 200 g Sahnegorgonzola
  • butter (for the baking sheet)
  • flour (for the work surface)
  • 125 g low-fat quark
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 250 g flour
  • 0.5 tsp Baking powder

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Place quark, salt, olive oil, and egg in a mixing bowl and combine with the dough hooks of an electric hand mixer; add flour and baking powder and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Wash asparagus, peel the lower third, and trim the ends. Blanch the spears for about 3 minutes in boiling salted water, drain, shock in ice water, and dry well.

  3. 3.

    Whisk crème fraîche with egg; mash Gorgonzola as needed with a fork and stir into the crème fraîche mixture, seasoning with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

  4. 4.

    Grease the baking sheet with butter. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a round, thin shape, place it on the sheet, and form a rim.

  5. 5.

    Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, arrange asparagus decoratively on top, pressing them slightly into the sauce. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (lower rack) for about 25–30 minutes.
