This Asparagus Gruyere Tart is gorgeous and impressive. Makes for a delicious appetizer or main dish. It’s also super EASY to make! You’ve got to try this!

Asparagus Gruyere Tart drizzled with balsamic glaze.

That dreaded walk of shame.

You might know that walk. And maybe you have to endure that walk pretty frequently like myself. I’m talking about whenever I’m late for something. Walking in late. With my head slightly down.

At church. At pre-school when I drop off Madeline late. At Madeline’s ballet class. Sometimes, when meeting friends.

I’m almost always running late, which I hate. This is something I am constantly working on. Some days/weeks are great but some days/weeks, it’s bad. Like having your daughter late to pre-school everyday, three days in a row.

The walk of shame.

You can tell what the state of my life and mind are simply by looking in my purse (or my messy bedroom). If my purse is organized, I’m good. .  but usually it’s a big mess, with all sorts of things thrown in there: napkins, snacks, half eaten crackers and granola bars, a million pieces of paper with scribbles on it (almost always a grocery list or recipe ideas).

The other day, I was done. I was sick of having crap everywhere so I cleaned the house, cleaned out my purse and got Madeline to school on time. And then, I came home and made this asparagus gruyere tart.

This super easy and utterly delicious Asparagus Gruyere Tart.

Asparagus for Asparagus Gruyere Tart.

Maybe it was the magical, beautiful asparagus that inspired me. That was calling my name. Maybe it’s because it’s spring and the weather is starting to warm up again and I have no time for lateness. I have no time for messy and unorganized.

I want to be my best self this spring. Insert the inspirational music right here.

And this asparagus gruyere tart kinda gave me hope that I can do it. And you can too.

Easter is less than one month away and I don’t know about you, but Easter is big for us. And you gotta have great food right?! We always host an Easter brunch and you can bet that this tart will be on the table.

Totally inspired by Martha but I added some fun twists to make my version of this classic! Add this honey dijon mustard with balsamic vinegar for an extra kick. If you don’t have this mustard, you can simply use dijon mustard (or plain honey dijon) and a few splashes of balsamic vinegar before serving. I hope you give this one a try!

A Note on The Puff Pastry

I highly recommend paying the extra money and buying Dufour puff pastry, or another brand (main point: look at the ingredients) which has the following ingredients: USDA Grade AA Butter (Cream, Natural Flavorings) Unbleached Unbromated Flour, Water, Salt and Lemon Juice.

Other puff pastry brands that you find at the grocery store, while much cheaper, also contain a bunch of ingredients like this: “UNBLEACHED ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR(FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE[VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), WATER,VEGETABLE OILS (PALM, SOYBEAN, HYDROGENATED COTTONSEED), CONTAINS 2 PERCENT OR LESS OF: HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, SALT, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES,SOY LECITHIN, MALTED … and more.”

Click here to see me making this tart on The TODAY Show! And I added even more spring goodness: peas on top (can be fresh or frozen) and fresh pea shoots as a garnish before serving!

Asparagus Gruyere Tart

TIP: I simply leave my frozen puff pastry in the refrigerator to defrost overnight. Then, it's ready to use the next day. If you don't have the honey dijon mustard with balsamic vinegar, use 1 to 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard OR try honey dijon mustard and serve with some balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze before serving. Also, if wanting to make a larger tart, simply combine TWO sheets of puff pastry but you can also just bake ONE if desired. Watch the video to see how. You can also add peas and pea shoots on this tart for even more spring goodness!
Prep Time10 mins

Course: Appetizer, Side or Main
Servings: 6 to 8
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

For the tart:

  • 1 to 2 sheets frozen puff pastry defrosted
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey dijon mustard with balsamic vinegar or plain dijon mustard
  • 2 to 3 cups Gruyere cheese freshly grated (or use any white cheese you like)
  • 1 1/2 pounds medium asparagus trimmed*
  • fresh or frozen peas if desired
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Additional toppings:

  • Fresh lemon zest
  • Balsamic glaze when serving
  • Fresh pea shoots

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prep a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place the defrosted puff pastry sheets on the baking sheet, (if using TWO: overlap them just an inch in order to connect them.) Using a sharp knife, lightly score the pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges all around to mark a rectangle. Then, using a fork, pierce the dough all around in the center, not the edges. Bake the pastry dough until lightly golden, for about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pastry shell from the oven, let it sit for a minute or two and then spread on the honey dijon mustard with balsamic vinegar (or dijon mustard if that's what you have) and then sprinkle on the Gruyere cheese.
  • *Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell. Arrange them in a single layer over the Gruyere cheese, alternating ends and tips. Sprinkle on the peas if using. Brush or lightly drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until the spears are tender, for about 20 to 25 minutes. Watch your tart while in the oven! Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Add additional toppings like the lemon zest to brighten the tart and some balsamic glaze if desired. Slice and serve and enjoy!

    Alice – when you mentioned this was easy in your post, I was skeptical – then I got to the recipe instructions – this IS easy indeed – but it looks so complicated and so good! What a wonderful combo of Dijon and Gruyere with pastry and asparagus!
    Btw, I so understand the whole purse is a mess and your life is crazy dealio! I suffer from that too!
    🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!

    So I’m definitely your opposite. I’m always early to everything. So when I’m dealing with friends in your situation, I trick them by giving them the wrong meeting time so they think they’re late, but are actually right on time. Evil, I know.
    This tart is everything in life I love. Cheese, asparagus, puff pastry. Say no more! Fancy drizzle, too…

    You were always on time whenever we met up so I’m a biiiiiit skeptical of this post, dear friend 🙂 Tony’s dad used to always drive him late to his Catholic elementary school and Tony would always get detention, even though it wasn’t his fault. That’s why he HATES being late. We always err on the side of caution and show up early. The ONE time we thought we had plenty of time to get to our destination was the wedding banquet of his best friend. It was only a 10 minute drive from our apartment and we figured that Chinese banquets always start late. When we got there, dinner had already started and everyone could see us doing that dread walk of shame to our table. SO AWFUL! Anyways, I’m in love with this gorgeous, elegant, delicious tart! That swirl of balsamic vinegar over top makes it look like a piece of art!

    How do you keep the puff pastry from burning if you pre-cook it then it has to be in the oven again for 20-25 minutes to cook the asparagus? I want to make this for Easter but concerned if I should saute’ the asparagus to soften it a bit before it goes on the tart and into the over to get all gooey and delicious.

    • hipfoodiemom says

      March 22, 2016 at 11:47 am

      Hi Rosemary! It will not burn! the pre-cook is only for 15 minutes. You do not need to saute the asparagus either. . it will bake nicely in the oven. you still want a little “bite” and you don’t want your asparagus too soft and mushy. If you are concerned about the tart burning, I suggest you bake this before Sunday if you can. This also freezes well if you can’t finish it. . also, check out this video: http://www.marthastewart.com/318340/asparagus-gruyere-tart to see the recipe being made step by step. . mine is different . . I use 2 sheets of puff pastry and connect them and add the dijon and balsamic for more flavor but this should help give you a visual. Good luck and happy Easter!

      Hi Sue, the only prep I think you can do is defrost the puff pastry and prep the asparagus (just trim the ends). Since you’re working with puff pastry dough, you really need to do everything the day of, unfortunately. But it doesn’t take long and will give you something beautiful and delicious to serve!

    Sorry for the silly question, but what kind of pan and what size? Thanks!! Do you mix 1tbl of balsamic vinegar with
    1Tbl of dijon? I wasn’t clear on the directions.

    • hipfoodiemom says

      April 25, 2016 at 11:23 pm

      hi Erika! You can use a rimless baking sheet or standard or large (12×17 or 11 x 17) baking sheet. . you just need something large enough to hold your puff pastry. If you like dijon mustard, use 1 to 2 tablespoons; spread it on the baked puff pastry after it has cooled for just a couple of minutes. Add the cheese and asparagus etc .. and then, when serving, I would add a splash of balsamic vinegar. Alternatively, you can add 1 to 2 teaspoons (just a splash) when you are spreading on the dijon mustard. Hope this helps! thank you for stopping by!

    I baked mine 15 min. And the pastry puffed up despite the fork poking, so when it came out I pressed it down gently. Then put down the mustard, then cheese and asparagus. Mine came out chewy and burned, too brown and crispy. Not sure what I did wrong, seems the 15 min. Pre-baking is too long? It looked pretty but tasted burned.

      Hi Sherry! Sorry to hear that. . I’ve baked this tart several times so I’m not sure what happened. Maybe try it again but for just 10 minutes? May I ask what brand of puff pastry you used? also, how long did you let it defrost and how? Also, after removing the pastry shell from the oven, did you let it sit for a minute or two before spreading on the honey dijon mustard? and yes, sometimes the puff pastry still does puff up just a little even though you prick it with a fork but just a little and yes, you should press it down gently just like you did. Let’s try to figure out what happened!

    This Asparagus Gruyere Tart is something new for me! Looks like a pizza:) I found your post from Pinterest! Thanks for sharing, Alice!

      Yes, it does! But the puff pasty dough/crust is different from pizza dough. . hope you try it!

    Found this on pinterest and would love to know if I could make it in advance, then bake the next day? Possibly bake the pastry the day before, then top with gruyere and asparagus then bake? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much!

      Hi Allison, I’ve never tried that before with puff pastry. . I would worry that the pastry would get too soft. . it’s best made and baked same day, sorry!

    This SO reminds me of springtime. Of course we love asparagus any time of the year though.
