    Very easy to make and truly delicious, this green asparagus tart. The parmesan really enhances the flavor of the eggs. My friends loved it; there wasn't a crumb left. With a salad, it's perfect for dinner or as a starter. THANK YOU.

    Super delicious!! I made it last year for a group of 35 people. Everyone was delighted! It also works wonders for morale during lockdown :-)

    Very good recipe. For my part, however, no muscat, but I added bacon after pouring my mixture and sprinkled with grated cheese.

    Very good recipe. The asparagus topping adds a refined touch to this dish. I made it once with wine but didn't quite like it. I then made it several times without alcohol, alternating between cream/milk, soy milk, etc., and it was very good. Choosing soy milk adds lightness to the recipe, but the addition of cream gives it a creaminess... To be chosen according to the circumstances!

    Very good Super good pie! My suggestion: Instead of using a yogurt and cream, I put 100 ml of milk and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. I also added some white wine. A delight and it changes things up.
