Asparagus and Prosciutto Tart

The crust is so light and flaky, but when you add the egg wash it becomes so crisp. This is definitely one of those meals that cooks up fast, but can easily be a quick dinner or even a delicious brunch. This is dish is crunchy, cheesy and the perfect balance of savory and sweet. Now, I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do!

Asparagus Breakfast Tart

Asparagus Breakfast Tart

I love nothing more than eating crunchy asparagus, salty bacon, creamy Parmesan cheese, yolky eggs, and crispy puff pastry. the best word to sum up this delicious recipe is simply YUM! If you’re looking for an easy recipe that is super tasty…this one is for you!

I love making this recipe for my family as a fast and easy dinner, but I have also made this as a brunch with a small side salad for my friends. This dish doesn’t just look impressive but tastes impressive as well. I typically cook the bacon first as I like to drain and dab off any grease as not to make the pastry crust soggy. I also coat the asparagus in a touch of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to give it a stepped up flavor. Once I’m ready to put it all together I prep the pastry sheet and start building the tart. A fun way to get the kids involved is to let them carefully crack the eggs on the tart just before baking. I even let my daughter help with sprinkling the Parmesan cheese on top. Now, I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
