["Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Spray a 9"" tart pan with nonstick cooking spray.", "In a food processor, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times. Add butter and shortening. Pulse just until mixture resembles coarse peas. Add water tablespoon by tablespoon, only using enough water to make the mass come together into a ball.", "Pour dough out onto a floured board and form a disk. Roll the dough out to about 10"" in diameter. Place dough into tart pan. Gently push dough up into the sides of pan, being sure to press into the fluted edge a bit. Use a rolling pin to cut off excess dough by rolling over the edge of the pan.", "In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients (except asparagus) for the filling. Mix well. Spread filling into dough-lined tart pan.", "Blanch the asparagus spears by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Drop in asparagus. Pull out the asparagus as soon as it turns bright green. Place in a bowl of ice water for several minutes. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.", "Arrange asparagus spears in a circle on top of the filling. Place tart into 350u00b0F oven. Bake for 40- 45 minutes or until filling is set. You'll know it's done when it springs back when pressed lightly in the center.", "Serve right away or at room temperature."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
