Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces fresh asparagus
- 1/2 cup, crumbled goat cheese
- 1 tsp, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Set aside.
- Step 2: For the crust, combine 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup cold butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/4 cup ice water, pulsing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim edges and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the crust. Evenly distribute the asparagus and crumbled goat cheese over the filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set. Let cool slightly before slicing.
