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 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. 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.
Instructions:
The gluten free dough mixes up slightly stiff as shown here. Make sure to use cold butter so the crust is easier to work.
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.)
Goat cheese can be a bit lumpy so use an electric mixer to blend it so that the tart batter is smooth.
Top Tip:
Make a foil tent around the tart pan to prevent any leaks.
Allow the tart to cool on a cooling rack.

Easy gluten free asparagus tart recipe.

- 6 tablespoons cold water
- Filling:
- 6 ounces goat cheese
- fresh asparagus
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a tart pan with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except butter and water.
