Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet Puff pastry Thawed
  • 1 lb Asparagus Tough ends trimmed
  • 4 oz Goat cheese Crumbled
  • 3 whole Large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Fresh herbs Thyme or dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and press it into a 9-inch square or round tart pan. Prick the bottom all over with a fork and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Line the chilled pastry with a piece of parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, chopped fresh herbs, kosher salt, and black pepper until completely smooth.
  • In a separate dish, toss the trimmed asparagus spears gently with the olive oil.
  • Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked pastry shell. Pour the egg custard mixture directly over the cheese.
  • Arrange the oiled asparagus spears in a single, even layer over the custard filling, trimming them to fit the tart pan if necessary.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg custard filling is fully set and the edges of the pastry are a deep golden brown.
  • Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
