Ingredients (for 4–6 people)

• 1 roll of ready-made pizza dough or tart dough

• 400 g green asparagus

• 2 onions

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 200 g feta

• 3 eggs

• 200 ml cream

• 50 ml vegetable broth

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & Pepper

• 1 tsp oregano

Preparation

1. Preparation

Line a Dutch oven lid or an oven-safe dish with parchment paper.

Place the dough inside, pull up the edges slightly, and prick the bottom several times with a fork.

2. Prepare the asparagus

Remove woody ends.

Cut the asparagus into 3–4 cm pieces.

Optional for extra tenderness: Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes, then drain.

3. Prepare the filling

Finely chop the onions and garlic and sauté them in a little olive oil until translucent.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and vegetable broth.

Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

Stir in the sautéed onions.

4. Assemble the tart

Distribute the asparagus pieces evenly over the dough.

Crumble the feta coarsely and sprinkle it over.

Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over it.

5. Bake

Bake at 180–200 °C indirect heat for approx. 30–40 minutes, until the filling is set and the surface is lightly golden brown.

In a Dutch oven with briquettes:

• 5–6 on the bottom
• 10–12 on top

Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

💡Tip

For even more flavor:
Add a few halved cherry tomatoes or some lemon zest.

Also delicious: toasted pine nuts as a topping.

A fresh, light tart that tastes like spring – perfect for relaxed barbecue evenings.
