This Asparagus Tart has a crispy shortcrust case and is filled with creamy eggs, tasty feta and seasonal asparagus. A lovely dish to take to a picnic or shared lunch.
I'm always looking for new ways to cook seasonal produce. Vegetables like asparagus taste great on their own, but I like to have a few recipes up my sleeve to get some variety in! My Asparagus and Feta Tart is an excellent way to use asparagus over the spring and summer seasons. For another amazing vegetarian tart, be sure to check out my Courgette and Feta Tart as well.
I've used store bought shortcrust pastry to make this recipe even easier. However, feel free to make your own if you know how! If you only have flaky pastry in the freezer you could use that as a substitute.
How to make Asparagus and Feta Tart:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C fanbake. Grease a tart tin with oil, then push square pastry sheets into the tin, overlapping where necessary to ensure the whole tin and sides are covered. Prick the pastry with a fork. Cover with baking paper then baking beads and blind bake for 15 minutes.
Whisk together the eggs, cream, herbs, salt and pepper. Cut any thick asparagus in half. Remove crust from the oven. Pour in the egg mixture, scatter over the feta and place asparagus on top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately sliced into pieces with tomato relish or chutney.

Common questions about this recipe
What kind of tin did you use? My tart tin is 30cm x 20xm and has a removable base. It's not essential to have a removal base but it does help!
Would this be a nice dish for Christmas Day? It sure would! This would be a great side dish to serve at your xmas lunch or dinner. You could even cut it into smaller squares as finger food before your main meal.
