Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°.

Step 2

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour and sugar in a food processor; pulse 3 times or until combined. Add shortening; pulse 6 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, add ice water through food chute, processing just until combined. Gently press mixture into a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface; roll dough into an 12-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray; fold edges under, and flute. Pierce bottom and sides of dough with a fork; bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

Step 3

Reduce oven temperature to 375°.

Step 4

Snap off tough ends of asparagus; remove scales with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Steam asparagus, covered, 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse asparagus under cold water; drain well, cut up. Arrange asparagus in prepared crust. Combine cream, rind, juice, tarragon, salt, eggs; stir well with a whisk. Pour over asparagus; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned. Serve warm.

Awsomely delicious! All the flavours blend perfectly together. The tarragon is subtle with a light citrus background. Made the pastry but did not put the sugar in it and used butter for the shortening. Definitely a make again recipe! Going into my Favvy File. Thanks Pia for sharing. Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
