Ingredients

  • 220 g flour
  • 120 g softened butter
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch salt
  • olive oil (for the pan)
  • 500 g Green Asparagus
  • 150 g goat cream cheese
  • 250 ml Whipping Cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 g grated Parmesan
  • Salt
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • nutmeg
  • 3 tbsp peeled walnuts (coarsely chopped)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Knead the flour with butter, egg, and salt into a smooth dough. Add a little cold water if needed. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Lightly oil the tart pan. Wash the asparagus, peel only the lower third, and cut the spears into ~3 cm pieces. Boil in salted water for about 2 minutes, then shock in ice water and drain well. For the filling, mix goat cheese with cream, eggs, and grated Parmesan; season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  3. 3.

    Roll out the dough to fit the pan and line the pan, shaping the edge. Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, arrange the asparagus on top, and sprinkle walnuts. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
