The savory tart with white asparagus is made with a type of asparagus that is available at this time of year 🙂
I usually use the green and purple ones, but I use the white ones less because they are harder to find 😉
Yesterday, I went to the greengrocer and as soon as I saw them, I picked them up immediately.
The first time, I made a tasty risotto and now I wanted to try them in a savory tart.
It’s a light and flavorful savory tart: I added some mild scamorza cheese and Greek yogurt to create a creamy mixture 😀
If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt or ricotta.
This morning, I prepared it for today’s lunch and served it as a side dish.
The cooking time for white asparagus varies depending on their size (it ranges from 20 – 30 minutes), so you’ll need to adjust accordingly.

Steps for the savory tart with white asparagus
Clean the white asparagus by cutting off the tougher, woody end, and use a peeler to remove some of the tougher parts from the sides of the asparagus.
Cut them into pieces, place them in a bowl, add the oil, salt, diced scamorza, and Greek yogurt. Mix well with a spoon.
On the table, pour the flour, water, oil, and salt. Work the mixture with your hands to form a ball.
Roll it out into the pan lined with parchment paper, prick the bottom with a fork, pour in the creamy mixture, leveling it well with a spoon.
Preheat the oven to 356°F in static mode and bake the savory tart with white asparagus for about an hour or until it colors on the surface.
