Asparagus Gruyere Tart Recipe

This tart is so elegant and simple that people may not believe how little time it takes to make. Store-bought puff pastry is the key: look for it in the frozen food section and let it defrost in the fridge overnight for the best results (if you forget to defrost it the day before, just leave it on the kitchen counter and it will be good to use within 2 hours). While the dramatic effect of asparagus spears laid side-by-side facing the same direction cannot be denied, when you go to cut and serve it, some people will get all ends and others will get all asparagus tips it seems potentially rife with conflicts. Best to play it even and alternate how you arrange each spear.
