A dinner that says spring in one bite. Puff pastry topped with fresh asparagus or scallions. The veggies are resting on a bed of Gruyere and honey mustard to add another layer off flavor.
The tarts are a very quick meal to assemble and worked perfectly at my house on a busy weeknight. You could also serve them as an appetizer when guests arrive.
2 tarts serve 4.
Ingredients:
for 1 tart
* 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
* olive oil
* 1 tablespoon honey mustard
* 1 cup Gruyere, grated
* 8 to 10 pieces of aspargus/ scallions or green garlic
* salt and pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F Convection.
Line a baking sheet with silicon pad or parchment paper. Place puff pastry on the sheet and unfold. Brush outer edges (about 1 inch) with olive oil and the inside with the honey mustard. Sprinkle cheese over the mustard and place vegetables on top. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15 to 25 minutes.

I love asparagus tart, especially one that sounds so easy and looks so beautiful! I'm glad I found your blog through Elisabeth, it's beautiful!
This looks absolutely delicious! I can't wait to try this recipe!
Wow! Looks so good! I could have this for lunch and dinner too!
I love the cheese and honey mustard combo. These look beautiful Kirsten.
They are both so pretty! I think I'll have to make both to decide which I like best. 😉
Kirsten:
I've been noticing the abundance of recipes on your site calling for Gruyere cheese and wondering if you have stock in a certain brand. Kidding aside, what are your favorite brands or suppliers?
Kirsten, this is a genius idea for a busy school night. Thanks a lot for sharing and it will probably be on our menu next week!
Mmm, I have most of the ingredients on hand and I may make this over the weekend!
Thanks for a great recipe!
Asparagus is my favorite and looking at this picture is KILLING me! I want a piece! 🙂
I wish I had this recipe when we lived in Connecticut–I had so much asparagus I ran out of recipes! Both tarts look amazing.
This tart looks AWESOME and I want to sink my teeth into it. So good!
Boy that looks good. Nice tender spring asparagus is so delicious and then of course the Gruyere cheese YUM!!
Wow, this asparagus tart looks stunning! Great job on it and thanks for sharing. You have a great blog and I'm so glad to have found it! 🙂 I'll be coming back soon.
These are so pretty! I love the idea of using green onions or green garlic as the star of a tart.
I noticed the root ends too…would never have thought of leaving them on but I love how they look…it takes rustic to a whole new level.
I would love either of these but then I'm with Karen…add puff pastry to almost anything and I'm in love!
These both look so great. I love anything surrounded in puff pastry.
Hi Kirsten-It's been a while since we commented on each others' blogs and just in time, you also posted an asparagus recipe, which I would like to mention since I also have an asparagus post on my recent post. I already linked to 2 others with their recipe and would like to link yours as well!
Love the 2 tarts, and especially the genius ideas with both. The scallion tart looks so cool, and rustic with the ends roots left on:DDD
YUM-mee.
sieht gut aus und kann bei den Zutaten auch nur gut schmecken!
This is not only delicious to taste….it's also very nice to watch!!!! xoxoxoxo, Flavia
