  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten to blend
  • 1 pound slender asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 ounces soppressata or other salami, thinly sliced, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2/3 cup Comte cheese (about 3 ounces) grated, divided

Recipe Method

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out pastry on floured surface to 13x10-inch rectangle.

2. Cut off 1/2-inch wide strip from all 4 sides. Brush strips on 1 side with some of beaten egg, then press strips, egg side down, onto edges of pastry to adhere, forming raised border. Brush border with egg; reserve remaining beaten egg. Transfer to baking sheet. Chill while preparing filling.

3. Steam asparagus just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

4. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain. Cut off top 2 to 3 inches of asparagus tops; set aside.

5. Coarsely puree remaining asparagus stalks in processor. Add remaining beaten egg, ricotta, 3 teaspoons oil, and salt; process until thick puree forms. Transfer to bowl; stir in salami and 1/3 cup Comte cheese; season with pepper. Spread mixture evenly over pastry. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup Comte cheese. Toss asparagus tips with remaining 1 teaspoon oil; arrange tips over filling. 6. Bake tart until filling is set, about 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Market tip/

Comte cheese is a semi-firm, Gruyere-style cow’s milk cheese. It is available at some supermarkets, cheese shops, and specialty foods stores.
