How to Make Asparagus Gruyere Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Steam asparagus until tender-crisp (about 3 minutes). Immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Pat completely dry.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet slightly larger than your baking sheet. Transfer to prepared baking sheets.
  4. Spread Dijon mustard evenly over each pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Arrange asparagus spears neatly on the mustard, alternating ends for a visually appealing pattern.
  6. Sprinkle generously with grated Gruyere cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  8. Lightly brush the egg wash over the pastry crust border.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing each tart into 6 pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
