This tasty low carb keto asparagus tart is simple to make and a wonderful make ahead meal!

Pie versus Tart

While pies and tarts might seem pretty similar as they both have a filling and a crust, there are differences between the two. Both pies and tarts can be sweet or savory filling, but a pie can have just a bottom crust, just a top crust or both and usually is served in a pie dish. A tart only has a bottom crust and is baked in a pan with shallow sides and a bottom that is removable so you can see the beautiful crust when serving. 

I've got many pie recipes and one of my favorites as well as my families favorite is my savory Italian Sausage Quiche.

3 Ingredient Pie Crust

Pies and tarts always have a delicious crust, but a pie crust has more of a flaky crust while a tart crust is a bit more firm. Both are a delicious way to enjoy fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits all presented beautifully in a tasty crust.

If you have tree nut allergies in the family, please use my Coconut Flour Pie Crust in place of the almond flour crust below. 

Today's recipe is very versatile with the choice of vegetables you like. If you're not a fan of asparagus swap it with roasted broccoli, Brussels sprouts or even sautéed or grilled zucchini. You can really choose any veggies you love. If you want to add some more protein, I think salmon would be delicious or even a simple shredded rotisserie chicken to save on time. 

A simple tart like this is perfect for a brunch idea or a light lunch with a nice salad for when you have company. Here are some salads ideas that would go nicely with this tart:

• Mock Potato Salad
• Greek Goddess Kale Salad
• Cucumber Dill salad
