If you want a beautiful savory tart to serve for brunch, this asparagus and goat cheese tart is easy to make.

Today is a baking day.

Because I work from home, I often bake in spurts during my breaks. It is not uncommon for me to have two or three recipes in different stages of cooking on any given day.

I do this to save time. Currently, I have this asparagus tart and gluten free coconut oatmeal chocolate chip cookies cooking in the kitchen today. One item is in the oven while the other is being mixed up.

What do you do to save time in the kitchen?

This week we got organic asparagus in our farm box from Farm Fresh to You. I always feel so lucky that I get to choose what produce we get in our box each week. It helps me stay organized by allowing me to plan out what I am going to make each week. If you love asparagus, you will love these easy tips to cook asparagus perfectly every time.

There are so many things to love about this goat cheese tart recipe. There is the flaky gluten free crust, the light goat cheese filling, and the fresh asparagus. All of the flavors combine as they bake together in the one pan.

How to make a gluten free tart crust:

Tart crust dough mixed up in a bowl

The gluten free dough mixes up slightly stiff as shown here.

Shaping the pie crust in the tart pan.

Spray a tart pan with olive oil and spread the crust into it. Press the dough against the sides so it molds into the scalloped edge.

(My tart pan has a removable bottom so the tart is easy to pop out. I bought mine at William Sonoma, but this tart pan looks like a much better deal.)

Blending the goat cheese into the tart ingredients.

Goat cheese can be a bit lumpy so use an electric mixer to blend it so that the tart batter is smooth.

TIP: Make a foil tent around the tart pan to prevent any leaks.

Allow the tart to cool on a cooling rack.

    Growing up my mom and aunt always made a Southern asparagus casserole at the holidays and your recipe will knock their socks off! Can’t wait to tell them about it!

    Asparagus has been so good already this season. I can just imagine how good it will be in this beautiful tart on our Easter Buffet.

    I am really excited I came across this recipe because it is so unique! I never would have thought about putting asparagus and goat cheese together, however, these two foods are some of my favorites, so I’m willing to try. Additionally, I really like the suggestion you give to use foil to create a tent around the food and avoid leaks. This would definitely help to make clean up go faster and easier. Thank you again for sharing!

    I am not organized enough to have more than one recipe going at a time. I would end up with ingredients for one in the other 😉 Loving this recipe! Asparagus and goat cheese are two of my favorite things!

    Dear Sandi, Something I always teach my kids when cooking is to clean as you go…that really saves a lot of time…and of course, try to plan ahead it is an occasion. Some days, I just get bursts of creativity and make what I am in the mood for. This tart sounds wonderful and looks beautiful. xo, Catherine
