Asparagus And Prosciutto Rustic Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Thaw frozen puff pastry at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly flour a surface and roll pastry into a 10x16-inch rectangle. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Top with Swiss cheese, prosciutto, and asparagus tips, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the outside edge of the pastry sheet. Drizzle with oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden brown and asparagus is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at 1/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
• Remove pastry shell from oven, and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• For asparagus, snap off tough ends of spears where they naturally give when bent. Place spears into 1-inch of boiling water. Cover the pan and cook asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes, until spears are just tender but remain bright green in color, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain and cold shock the spears in a colander under cool water. Return cooked asparagus to skillet and coat with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Remove bundles of several spears at a time from the pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving plate.

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus; cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Drain and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking; drain and pat dry. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll out the puff pastry into a 10-by-16-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake until light golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, mix the fontina, comte, shallot, egg yolks, milk, nutmeg and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until combined. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Arrange the asparagus on the tart and bake until the cheese mixture is slightly puffy, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon zest. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut asparagus into 1 inch pieces and cook in boiling water 2 minutes; drain.
• Cut prosciutto into thin strips and cool in a nonstick skillet until crispy.
• ,5 minutes; remove from skillet.
• Cook scallions in oil in same skillet until softened, 2 minutes.
• Combine asparagus, prosciutto, scallions, eggs, cheese, half-and-half and black pepper in a large bowl; cover and refrigerate.
• Brush phyllo sheets with melted butter and overlap in a 10 inch pie plate; pour in egg mixture.
• Bunch edges of phyllo around rim of pie and bake at 350 degrees until set, 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for 40 minutes or until it's easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 10 x 14-inch rectangle. Place the pastry sheet onto the baking sheet. Brush the pastry sheet with the mustard. Fold in the edges of the rectangle about 1/4-inch and crimp with a fork to seal.
• Arrange the asparagus on the pastry in a single layer. Sprinkle with the prosciutto, fontina and thyme.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the asparagus is tender.
