Instructions

For the Crust

  1. Combine flours, salt, and herbs in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. 
  2. Add the butter and pulse until the dough resembles coarse sand.
  3. Add 3 Tbsp of water and lemon juice. Pulse until the dough comes together. Add the additional 1 Tbsp of water, if the dough needs it to come together. 

For the Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
  2. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to roughly 13 inches in diameter.
  3. Place crust on a baking sheet or stone.
  4. Layer the ham strips, red onion slices, and asparagus spears on the crust, leaving a 1 inch border uncovered. 
  5. Gently fold the border up over the filling. (Be sure it doesn’t tear, or the next step won’t work too well.)
  6. Pour the beaten eggs into the crust and place the tart in the oven.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the eggs has set, the asparagus is roasted, and the crust is golden.
  8. Remove the tart from the oven and let is rest for 5 minutes before serving.
