How to prepare Savory Radicchio Tart

To make the savory radicchio tart, first wash and trim the spring onion, then slice it into rounds 1. Do the same with the radicchio 2, making sure to set aside about ten whole leaves for final decoration. Now cut the Asiago cheese into cubes 3.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan and add the spring onion 4. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add the chopped radicchio 5, season with salt and pepper 6, and sauté for 3-4 minutes; it should remain crunchy.

Transfer the vegetables to a bowl 7, incorporate the liquid cream and whole eggs 8, mix, and finally season with the grated cheese 9.

Stir again to obtain a homogeneous mixture 10. Now take a 9.5-inch diameter fluted edge tart pan and place the pastry sheet on it 11. Gently press the bottom and edges with your fingers to adhere the pastry well 12.

Now fill the savory tart with the filling 13, take the reserved radicchio leaves 14, and place them on the surface to create a starburst pattern 15.

Place the cheese cubes between the leaves (16-17). Bake the savory radicchio tart in a preheated static oven at 340°F for 30 minutes, then switch to the grill for about 3 minutes, until golden. Once cooked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Storage

Store the savory radicchio tart in the refrigerator and consume it within 3 days. You can freeze the tart after baking.

Advice

If you love strong flavors, you can replace the Asiago with Gorgonzola, or conversely, if you prefer milder flavors, you can also use Brie or a common lightly aged dairy cheese.
