Lemon Asparagus Ricotta Tart

This LEMON ASPARAGUS RICOTTA TART 🍋 is where it is AT! I’ve been using up all the random doughs and crusts in my freezer lately because literallly…what else is there to do? This phyllo dough from @athens_foods was one of those things. I wish I had 12 sheets to use, but I only had 8 so I just made it work. I layered each sheet with a combo of melted ghee and lemon juice, then I put a combination of ricotta cheese, milk, and parmesan cheese on top, followed by raw asparagus, a touch more lemon juice, and a little bit more of parmesan! Then I baked it for 22 minutes until the asparagus was nice and brown. Bake at 400°F. This was so easy to make and would be perfect for any brunch you host!
