Asparagus and Prosciutto Tart Recipe
So here’s the deal—this tart thinks it needs prosciutto to be fabulous, but surprise: it’s serving full drama plant-based. Asparagus is the true queen here, standing tall and green like it just got a fresh blowout. Flaky puff pastry? Check. Creamy vegan filling? Check. Ham? Girl, we left that back in 2008 with low-rise jeans. This elegant little number is brunch-approved, dinner-party ready, and smug enough to make a Pinterest board jealous. Grab your baking tray and your sass, because we’re about to make a tart that slaps without the meat baggage.
Asparagus and Prosciutto Tart Recipe
A crispy, golden puff pastry tart loaded with fresh asparagus, dairy-free cheese, and herby notes—minus the prosciutto, because plants rule.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry thawed
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus trimmed
- ½ cup vegan cream cheese
- ¼ cup vegan mozzarella shreds
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon because we’re fancy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line your baking sheet like a professional (or at least someone who owns parchment).
- Roll out the pastry onto the sheet and fold the edges slightly to create a crust.
- Dock the center with a fork so it doesn’t puff like your ego after compliments.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread that creamy mix across the pastry like you’re frosting a really chic, savory cake.
- Layer asparagus neatly or chaotically—your kitchen, your call.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden, flaky, and serving “yes, I bake” energy.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temp, preferably while sipping something sparkly.
