Quick and Easy Asparagus and Goat Cheese Tart with Polenta Crust

I tried this recipe for the first time yesterday evening and I just know I’m going to make it again. I’m always for easy recipes that I can pull together at the last minute. This one will take you about 15 minutes to prepare and about 30 minutes to bake. It will make 2 servings.

Ingredients: 1 cup instant polenta, 3 cups water, 10 asparagus, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 115 g / 4 ounces goat cheese (cut in cubes), salt, pepper, 3 tablespoons sour cream, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions: Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F). Prepare polenta as directed on package and set aside. Wash the asparagus, remove the ends and cut them in half (or smaller pieces). Preheat olive oil in a skillet. Add asparagus and sauté, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.  Transfer polenta to prepared tart pan and spread it evenly over bottom and up sides of pan. Then divide the asparagus mixture over the polenta and add goat cheese on top. Mix the sour cream and egg together in a small bowl, add nutmeg and pour over the asparagus mixture and goat cheese. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Enjoy!!
