  • 125 g Butter or margarine

Directions

  1. 1

    Put flour and 1 pinch of salt on the work surface. Press a depression in the middle. Add 1 egg and 4-5 tablespoons of cream. Spread cold fat in flakes on the edge of the flour. Quickly knead all ingredients with cool hands to a smooth dough and cover and chill for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    In the meantime, wash the asparagus. Break off or cut off the woody lower end. Pre-cook the asparagus in plenty of boiling salted water for about 2 minutes. Drain on a sieve and let it cool down a bit.

  3. 3

    Roll out the short pastry on a floured work surface in a circle of approx. 28 cm Ø and line the greased tart mould (24 cm Ø) with it. Press the edge of the dough lightly. Pre-bake in the preheated oven (electric: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Peel and slice the onion. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion briefly while turning. Mix the remaining eggs, mustard and cream. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

  5. 5

    Clean and wash the cherry tomatoes, dab them dry and spread them on the pre-baked pastry with the drained asparagus and onion wedges. Pour egg milk over them. Bake at the same baking temperature for about 60 minutes.

  6. 6

    If necessary, cover with parchment paper after 3/4 of the baking time. Garnish with parsley as desired.
