Easter Series: Grilled Asparagus and Goat Cheese Tart Recipe
Looking for a delicious and impressive Easter side dish? Look no further than this grilled asparagus and goat cheese tart recipe! This dish is perfect for those who want to add a touch of sophistication to their holiday table.
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use a fork to prick the pastry all over. This will prevent it from puffing up too much in the oven.
Bake the pastry in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until it's lightly golden brown.
While the pastry is baking, toss the asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the asparagus for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they're slightly charred.
Once the pastry is done baking, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over it. Then, arrange the grilled asparagus on top of the pastry.
Finally, sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the asparagus and return the tart to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for Grilling Asparagus:
To prevent the asparagus from falling through the grates of your grill, thread them onto skewers before grilling.
Make sure to brush the asparagus with olive oil before grilling to prevent them from sticking to the grates.
Don't overcook the asparagus - you want them to be slightly charred and tender, but still crisp.
This grilled asparagus and goat cheese tart is sure to impress your guests and make your Easter meal a hit. Enjoy!
