This is a wonderful recipe as the tart came out perfect and mega tasty. I made it as described but I can imagine that this would be great with other vegetables or even ham. The new and genial part for me was the redy made pastry AND the base of the topping with mustard and gruyere, my absolutely favorite cheese. Thanks a lot I will keep this recipe as a winner.

Since this was only for me (DH really doesn't have a clue as to what he's missing by being so dang picky) I made a half recipe in a round pan with the asparagus tips to the center. It came out beautiful and delicious. It's something that could be very versatile and used as an appetizer, side, cut into smaller cocktail squares, part of a brunch, etc. The fresh asparagus really shines, it's not difficult and so so worth the small amount of effort. Truly an A+ recipe!
