Preparation
- Prepare the Dough: Start by mixing flour, butter, and salt in a bowl until crumbly. Form it into a ball and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure a flaky texture.
- Blind Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into your tart pan. Blind bake by placing parchment paper and weights on top, and bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
- Roast the Vegetables: While the crust is baking, sauté or roast your selected vegetables like asparagus and bell peppers until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until smooth. Stir in the crumbled cheese and the roasted vegetables until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Tart: Carefully pour the filling into the blind-baked crust, making sure not to overfill it to prevent any spillage while baking.
- Bake: Place the assembled tart back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center.
- Serve: Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
Add extra cheese on top before serving for added richness. Experiment with vegetables and seasonings to make this dish your own.
