Steps:
- Make pastry:
- Blend together flour, salt, and butter in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with egg and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) just until a dough forms.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Make filling while pastry chills:
- Wash leek in a bowl of cold water, agitating water, then lift out leek and pat dry.
- Cook asparagus in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut off and reserve tips (leave more stalk if asparagus is thin), then thinly slice stalks crosswise.
- Heat butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook leek with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in sliced asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and remove from heat.
- Finish filling and assemble and bake tart:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put flan ring in center of baking sheet. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into an 11-inch round, then fit dough inside flan ring, pressing dough against bottom edge and side of ring. Run rolling pin over top edge of ring to cut off excess dough.
- Whisk together cream, 2 eggs, tarragon, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Lightly beat remaining egg with water in a small bowl and brush tart shell all over with some egg wash. Spoon asparagus mixture into shell, spreading evenly, then pour cream mixture over asparagus.
- Bake tart until filling is just beginning to set but still loose on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Scatter asparagus tips over top, pressing lightly if necessary to help them settle into filling, then continue to bake until custard is golden and just set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 30 minutes more (custard will continue to set as it cools).
- Cool tart on baking sheet on a rack until warm, about 30 minutes. Loosen edge with a small sharp knife, then lift off flan ring. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

ASPARAGUS CUSTARD TART
This tart is unapologetically rich-there is puff pastry, Gruyere, goat cheese, and cream-yet the overall effect is one of lightness. It's a handy make-ahead addition to a festive spring brunch spread, but paired with a green salad, it also makes a satisfying supper on its own.

Steps:
- Roll out puff pastry into a 14-inch square on a lightly floured surface; cut into a 13-inch round with a paring knife (use a bowl or a plate as a template). Transfer to a 9-inch round baking dish or a 5 1/2-to-6-cup deep-dish pie plate. Prick all over with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place on a baking sheet and bake until edges turn pale golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove crust from oven and remove pie weights and parchment. Return crust to oven and bake until bottom is dry and golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add asparagus stalks and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water; when cool, transfer to a plate and pat dry. Add asparagus tips to boiling water and cook 30 seconds. Drain and transfer to ice water; drain when cool. Pat tips dry and toss with oil in a bowl. Transfer stalks to a blender. Add eggs, cream, flour, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to blender and puree until very smooth.
- Pour custard into crust. Sprinkle with Gruyere and goat cheese and top with asparagus tips. Bake until edges of custard are puffed, top is golden brown, and center is set, about 40 minutes. (Tent with foil if necessary to prevent overbrowning.) Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes before serving.
WILD MUSHROOM CUSTARD WITH ASPARAGUS-TRUFFLE SAUCE
Steps:
- In a hot saute pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and saute garlic. Add mushrooms and mix carefully. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with wine and reduce until nearly dry. Check for seasoning and lay mushrooms on a tray to cool completely. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Mix in cooled mushrooms and scallions. Spray 4 large ramekins with cooking spray and fill 4/5. Place in hot bain marie (boiling water up half way) and bake in oven at 300 degrees for 25 minutes or until set.
- In a 1 quart casserole, add 1 tablespoon butter and sweat onions and garlic until soft. Add water and season well. Add the asparagus and cook for only 3 to 5 minutes until soft. Add the spinach and take the casserole off of the heat. (It is imperative that this water tastes salty so that when the asparagus and spinach are added, they maintain their green color.) Immediately buzz the sauce with a hand blender and add the butter. Check for seasoning. Add the truffle oil and keep warm in a water bath.
- PLATING
- In a large pasta bowl, ladle in the asparagus sauce. Place one custard in the middle and garnish with asparagus spears, truffle oil and fresh truffle slices.
ASPARAGUS CUSTARD
Steps:
- Bring 2 quarts water and the salt to a boil in a 7- to 8-quart pot. Throw in the asparagus. Return the water to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the asparagus in a colander and let sit for 1 hour to remove excess water. Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Melt the butter in a small nonstick pan. Add the onion. Cook over medium-low heat until the onion is soft and translucent. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until blended. Beat in the heavy cream, cheese and chives. Mix the asparagus and onion with the heavy cream mixture. Pour into a 10-inch quiche pan. Place the pan on a cookie sheet to catch any spills. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is brown and puffed up and the custard has set.
ASPARAGUS SAUCE
A simple and really quick recipe for asparagus sauce that can be made when you have asparagus or asparagus tips left over from another dish you are cooking. This sauce is great hot or cold and can be easily frozen. I found it on the English website on which I found my Asparagus and Almond soup recipe, with that recipe. ALL the quantities listed in the ingredients are approximations: it all depends on how much asparagus you are dealing with. So there is one absolutely unlisted ingredient: your culinary discretion! I've added the garlic, but this could easily be omitted. I've posted this for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Mix 1 cup flour and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese together in one bowl. Mix egg whites and chives together until foamy in a second bowl. Mix 4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons flour together in a third bowl.
- Using tongs and working with one piece of asparagus at a time, coat asparagus in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Transfer to the egg white mixture; coat evenly and let the excess run off. Finally coat in the Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently so the cheese adheres. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat to coat remaining asparagus.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- While the asparagus is baking, mix mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup, and Cajun seasoning together in a small bowl. Serve as a dipping sauce alongside asparagus.

ASPARAGUS, LEEK & GRUYERE TART IN TARRAGON SAVORY CUSTARD
Excellent recipe for brunch, also makes great leftovers and freezes well. Tastes delicious warm or at room temperature. I have also lightened the recipe at times by omitting the Gruyere cheese completely and also gotten excellent results with the same cooking time. The pie crust is worth the effort to make from scratch, although a pre-made puff pastry crust may also be used to cut prep time. The recipe was given to me by a friend, which I then modified.

ASPARAGUS ALLA FONTINA
Much like a quiche without a crust, this dish is equally good as an appetizer, or as the late main course for brunch, lunch or a late dinner.
